COM Port Interface

The COM port connects to a PC for front panel emulation, to an ASCII terminal or
printer for alarms, to an async terminal, or to a network device (e.g., a router) for
SNMP or Telnet applications. The COM port connector is an 8-position keyed
modular connector (Table D-3). The data signals on this port are referenced to a
DTE interface.

The COM port-to-PC cable is shown in
