If the MM200 does not have the option of changing from RS-232 to RS-422, an RS-232 to RS-422
Interface Converter is required. The RS-422 end is attached to the cable, the other is attached to
the standard COM Port of the computer. A suggested converter is P/N K422-99 available from
KK Systems, Ltd. (www.kksystems.com).
If communication is required to a Remote Port via an Overhead Interface, the following cabling is
required (refer to Figure 5-2):
