5.5.2.5 RS-232 Wiring for the RMC SERIAL
Connectors
The RMC SERIAL's 9-pin male DB connector is used for RS-232 communications. This requires
a 9-pin female connector on the RMC SERIAL end of the connecting cable. The other end of the
cable must match the master/host hardware, which may be a 9-pin, 25-pin, RJ-11, connector
block, or other connector.
See also General Wiring Information.
The following diagram shows the pin assignments on the RS-232 9-pin connector:

Cabling
A null-modem or crossover cable is typically used for RS-232 communications. See the following
wiring diagram for details.
