Operation
Refer to the product manual for detailed operating instructions.
The Master port is a DB25 female connector configured as DCE. This provides a direct connection
to an IBM PC compatible or other DTE device. When connecting the Master port to a MODEM, the
Master Port of another 232BSS4, or other device configured as DCE, a null MODEM adapter is
needed.
The Slave Ports are DB9 Male connectors configured as DTE for direct connection to a MODEM or
other DCE device. When connecting the Slave ports to a PC compatible or other DTE device, a null
modem adapter is needed.
The illustration below gives full pin-outs. Only pins 2 and 3 are required for basic operation.
Data Format: 7 or 8 data bits, even, odd, or no parity (Master does not support 7 data bits with no
parity), 1 Stop Bit (fixed).
