DIGITAL DATA SERVICE
The SX5e features a DB-9 digital computer fax/data port for connection to a personal computer
(PC) - not supplied. When connected to a PC, the SX5e’s PC interface is capable of sending
and receiving digital fax and data transmissions, sending and receiving e-mail communications,
and browsing the Internet. (Data speeds may vary depending upon your cellular network.)
PC Data Connection
A data cable - not included - is required for data transmission. To determine the necessary
cable, count the number of PIN connections in the serial port of your PC (see below). If there
are 9 PIN connections in the PC serial port, a DB-9 (female) to DB-9 (male) cable is required. If
there are 25 PIN connections in the PC serial port, a DB-25 (female) to DB-9 (male) cable is
required - See Figure 9.
NOTE: The SX5e does not support direct computer modem (data) operation through the phone
or fax ports.
