Connecting Cable for Data
Communications
(to a host computer, printer or modem)
1. Plug an RS-232 serial cable into the communication port
located on the left end of cradle next to the power
connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial (COMM)
port of the host computer or printer.
Note:
In most cases, you must use a null-modem cable. However,
modems and some serial printers (DCE-type) do not need
a null-modem. For a DB25 connection, the cable you will
need is p/n 59846-01-00. For a DB9 connection, the cable
you will need is p/n 59846-03-00 (see your system
administrator).
