Connector Pinouts B
Serial Port
The RF-B! transmitter controller serial port, located on the front panel, is used for obtaining
station parameter and diagnostic information through a service terminal. The serial port uses
RS-232 signaling through a DB-9 female connector. Table B-1 provides the pinout information
for the Serial Port.
Note: The Console port requires the data carrier detect (DCD) pin to detect that a serial cable is
connected. Ensure that your serial interface and cable properly provide DCD.
