This section describes how to connect a PC to the CONFIG port.

Figure 9: Connecting a PC

You can connect to the unit via a crossed RS-232 connection, using for example,

a PC. A crossed cable or null-modem is required as shown in method A and B

respectively. If a shielded cable is used, connect the shield to pin 5.

Method A (Figure 10

)—Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the unit via a

crossed cable (only pin 2 to pin 3, pin 3 to pin 2, and pin 5 to pin 5 need be

connected) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the PC.

Note: There is no need to connect any other pins.
