RS232 Pin Configuration

Refer to this table if you want to make your own cables.

To do so, you must determine if your host RS232 device is:

• 9-pin or 25-pin and
• configured as a DCE or DTE device.

Serial Connector

The base connector is straight to the printed circuit board (PCB). The ninth pin sends 500mA at 5V power
out. This can power a peripheral device, such as a mobile printer, as long as that peripheral device can
accept 500mA at 5V.

Note:

Signals referenced are for a DTE device.
