• If you are connecting the iPocket232 to a DCE (Data Communication Equipment)
device:
- one (1) RS-232 serial cable for configuration
- one (1) straight through modem serial cable (DB-9 male to DB-9 female) for
connecting your DCE serial device after configuration
TIP: How do you know if your serial device is DCE or DTE?
• DCE devices generally have a female (receptacle) DB-9 connector. Examples of
DCE devices include the iPocket232, modems, Digital Service Units (DSU),
Channel Service Units (CSU), and most communications equipment.
• DTE devices generally have a male (pin) DB-9 connector. Examples of DTE
devices include communications servers, terminals, serial printers, and PCs with
native RS-232-E serial ports.
Reconfiguration
After your iPocket232 is operational, you will require a standard RS-232 serial cable
and a PC or dumb terminal to locally reconfigure the unit.
NOTE: You can also reconfigure the iPocket232 remotely using telnet, if you have set
the Remote Password. See Appendix D: Connecting with Telnet.
