Serial Port Specification
Figure 10 and the table below provide the specification of the 9-
pin serial port located on the RangeLAN2 Serial Adapter. The
Serial Adapter is wired as a DCE (Data Communication Equip-
ment), like a modem.
The unit is designed to connect directly to a DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment), such as a computer or dumb terminal, using a
straight-through RS-232 cable. If your application requires that
the Serial Adapter be connected to another DCE, use a null
modem cable or a straight-through cable with a null modem
adapter, which will cross the transmit and receive pins so that the
DCEs can communicate with one another.
