Appendix C. Serial Port Pinouts
C.1 CS I/O Communications Port
Pin configuration for the CR3000 CS I/O port is listed in table CS I/O Pin 
Description
(p. 551).
Table 126. CS I/O Pin Description
ABR: Abbreviation for the function name. 
PIN: Pin number. 
O: Signal Out of the CR3000 to a peripheral. 
I: Signal Into the CR3000 from a peripheral. 
PIN ABR I/O
Description
1
5 Vdc
O
5V: Sources 5 Vdc, used to power peripherals.
2 SG
Signal Ground: Provides a power return for pin 1 (5V), 
and is used as a reference for voltage levels. 
3 RING I
Ring: Raised by a peripheral to put the CR3000 in the 
telecommunications mode. 
4 RXD I
Receive Data: Serial data transmitted by a peripheral are 
received on pin 4. 
5 ME O
Modem Enable: Raised when the CR3000 determines that 
a modem raised the ring line. 
6 SDE O
Synchronous Device Enable: Used to address Synchronous 
Devices (SDs), and can be used as an enable line for 
printers. 
7 CLK/HS I/O
Clock/Handshake: Used with the SDE and TXD lines to 
address and transfer data to SDs. When not used as a 
clock, pin 7 can be used as a handshake line (during 
printer output, high enables, low disables). 
8 +12
Vdc
9 TXD O
Transmit Data: Serial data are transmitted from the 
CR3000 to peripherals on pin 9; logic-low marking (0V), 
logic-high spacing (5V), standard-asynchronous ASCII, 8 
data bits, no parity, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, 300, 1200, 2400, 
4800, 9600, 19,200, 38,400, 115,200 baud (user 
selectable). 
C.2 RS-232 Communications Port
C.2.1 Pin-Out
Pin configuration for the CR3000 RS-232 nine-pin port is listed in table CR3000 
RS-232 Pin-Out
(p. 552).
Information for using a null modem with RS-232 is given
in table Standard Null-Modem Cable or Adapter-Pin Connections
(p. 553).
The CR3000 RS-232 port functions as either a DCE (data communication 
equipment) or DTE (data terminal equipment) device. For RS-232 to function as a 
DTE device, a null modem cable is required. The most common use of RS-232 is
