Connecting to a Host
The HOST port of the decoder allows communication with a host
device using three standard interfaces: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485.
This appendix contains connection diagrams for each interface. Use
these diagrams when connecting a host device to the HOST port of
the decoder.
The HOST port on the NEMA Type 4 decoder has a 19-pin (male)
connector. The HOST port on the NEMA Type 1 decoder has a
25-pin (female) D shell connector.

The cable that connects the decoder to the host varies depending on
the communication standard and the type of connector on the serial
communication port of the host.
