Linking Units with the Serial Port

Your FLS-2200 Broadband Source is equipped with a serial (RS-232) port to
send and receive data. You can simply use a null-modem (serial) cable to
link it to the other unit with which you want to perform remote control. The
RS-232 port is located at the back of Broadband Source, as shown below.

The RS-232 connector uses a DTE pinout configuration.
