DB-25 fully-wired terminal/printer cable
A DB-25 fully-wired terminal/printer cable with the following wiring supports
most serial terminals or printers with either software or hardware
handshaking. This cable is valid with any Digi DB-25 serial port.
Terminal/printer cable for software (XON/XOFF) or hardware (DTR) handshaking
Note: Some terminal or printer manufacturers may use different methods of flow
control. Consult your documentation for specific wiring requirements.
DB-25 modem cable
To connect a DB-25 equipped asynchronous adapter to a modem, use a
standard “straight-through” cable. A straight-through cable has a DB-25
female connector at the Digi end, and a DB-25 male connector at the
modem end. All 25 pins are connected, 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, etc. Use
shielded cable, and connect pin 1 of each connector to the cable shield.
