2.2.2 Com Port RS-232

This is the main RS-232 port for communicating to the H-5223. The RS-232 port is used to
connect to a PC, PDA, modem, or other type of serial equipment for standard serial
communications. This port is configured as a DCE type of device. This means it will plug
directly into a PC (a DTE type device), but will require a NULL modem adaptor for connecting
to most PDA’s or a modem (a DCE type device). The NULL modem cable crosses the
communication lines allowing two similar devices to communicate. Figure 2-2 shows the pin
assignments for this port.
