Serial Ports

Most computers provide a DB-25 or DB-9 port that conforms to the EIA-232 standard.

 

The EIA-232 Interface

Your modem’s serial port is factory set to signal according to the EIA-232 standard.

 

 

 

Wiring a DB-25 to DB-9 Cable

DB-9 connectors for PCs should be wired at the computer end of the cable as shown below.

 

 

Minimum Requirements

Some computer/terminal equipment supports only a few of your modem’s EIA-232 signals. The minimum required for your modem to operate asynchronously follows:

DB-25 DB-9 Supports this signal
Pin Pin Function
2 3 Transmitted Data
3 2 Received Data
7 5 Signal Ground
20 4 Data Terminal Ready

 


Flow Control Requirements

If your computer and software support Clear to Send and you wish to use Transmit Data hardware flow control (&H1), Pin 5 (DB-25) or Pin 8 (DB-9) is required.

If your computer and software support Request to Send and you wish to use Received Data hardware flow control (&R2), Pin 4 (DB-25) or Pin 7 (DB-9) is required.
