Each serial port is a Mini-DIN physical connection. A 6-inch 'Mini-DIN to DB-9M'
cable is provided for each active protocol port. The DB-9M provides connections
for RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485, as well as for the Debug port. The diagrams in
the following topics detail the pin assignments for several possible physical
connections.
