Installation
Serial (RS-232) Port Power
The RS-232 port of TCC-80I is designed with a female DB9 socket to
connect directly to the host PC, with power drawn from the TxD, RTS, or
DTR lines. TCC-80I is capable of taking enough power from the attached
Tx line only. For those attached serial RS-232 devices which does not
provide enough power on its Tx line, additional handshake lines should be
connected to TCC-80I. The DC jack of TCC-80I is also provided for
connecting a 5 to 12 VDC power supply via a USB power cord or external
power adaptor.
