Appendix
Assigning IP Information to FiberLinX
Using DB-9 Serial Port
The serial port uses an IBM-compatible DB-9 serial connector. To
connect the device to your terminal/computer, use a DB 9-pin male/female
null modem cable. (If your computer/terminal has a serial port using a
connection not compatible with a DB-9 COM port, use the Pin Connection
table below for reference in making a cable.) Make sure the cable length is
under 50 ft. (15.24m). Plug one end of the cable into the DB-9 connector
on the device, and the other into
the appropriate port on your
computer/terminal. Set your
computer/terminal for VT-100
emulation. The serial port on the
computer/terminal should be set
for 38.4K BAUD, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, no parity, no flow control.
