Connecting Serial Devices
This section discusses connecting your serial devices. In addition, it provides you
with information to build serial or test cables and loopback connectors to test the
serial ports.
Connecting Devices
Use this procedure to connect asynchronous serial devices to the DeviceMaster
AIR ports.
Make sure that you have configured the ports using the NS-Link driver
or SocketServer for the correct communications mode before
connecting any devices. The default mode in the NS-Link drivers is RS-
232. There is a remote possibility that connecting a peripheral for the
wrong mode could damage the peripheral.
1.
Connect your serial devices to the appropriate port on the DeviceMaster AIR
using the appropriate cable. You can build your own DB9 cables using
Serial Cables and Loopback Plugs
Note: Refer to the hardware manufacturer’s installation documentation if you
need help with connector pinouts or cabling for the peripheral device.
2.
Verify that the devices are communicating properly.
