ONNECTION
The RS232 interface is provided by an adapter cable which converts the DB26 connection on a
RS232 adapter to two standard 25-pin RS232 connections.
Each port on a RS232 adapter has software configurable for DTE (external clocking) or DCE
(internal clocking). Be sure to use the appropriate RS232 adapter cable (DTE or DCE).
The DTE RS232 adapter cable provides two standard 25-pin connections with male contacts. The
DCE RS232 adapter cable provides two standard 25-pin connections with female contacts. The
following table shows the pin and signal assignments for the RS232 interfaces provided by the
adapter cable.
