Connecting the TA128 to your Computer Serial Port

Figure 2 -2 Connecting the TA128 to Your Computer

Complete the following steps to connect the TA128 to your
computer:

1. Turn off the power to your computer.

2. Connect the male end of the 25 pin cable to serial port1.

3. Connect the other end of the cable (female end) to your

computer’s serial port. In case your computer only supplies a 9
pin serial connector, you will need to use a 25 pin to 9 pin
converter (9 pin female to 25 pin male). If you have another
type of serial port connector, such as on the Macintosh, you
will need a special cable for the connection.

4. Once the connection is made, turn the computer back on.
