1.2 TERMINAL vs. SERIMUX Cable Connections
The connectors on the rear of the SERIMUX-TERM-CS-16 are split between those for the TERMINAL connections, and those for
the SERIMUX connections (see Figure 2).

1.3 Connect Devices, Hosts, and Power
1. Connect each serial device (or host) to be connected by the SERIMUX to any port labeled "1" through "16" using a DTE
or DCE type serial cable. It may be necessary to add one of the cable adapters (supplied) detailed in "Cable Adapters"
(page 70) between the device port on the serial device (or host) and the RJ45 connector.
Note: There are two types of serial devices, 1) data communication equipment (DCE)(i.e. modem) and 2) data terminal
equipment (DTE) (i.e. CPU), each having different connector pin assignments. The cable adapters (see “Materials” on
page 3) make the proper connections.
2. If connecting a printer, connect either a serial printer cable to the remaining male DB9 connector or a parallel printer
cable to the female DB25 connector (see Figure 3).
3. Connect the powercord to the IEC power connector.
