Connecting the Upload/Download Cable

The RS-232 port connects the terminal to the host computer for
uploading and downloading application files using the RS-232 serial
cable (Upload/Download cable). The cable is available in a separate
kit (A-B Catalog Number 2711-NC1).

The Upload/Download cable can be connected to a computer with a
25-pin, RS-232 port (IBM PC AT

R-type computers). Use the cable

pinout shown in Figure 4.8 to connect the terminal to the host
computer. For instructions about transferring files using the
Upload/Download cable, refer to the PanelView 1200e/1400e
