Diagnostic Port
The diagnostic port located on the front panel of the iR1200 modem (see Figure
9 on page 39) is used to retrieve data from the modem that will help to analyze
and diagnose possible communication issues.
The following table describes steps to connect to the diagnostic port:
1 Insert the 9-pin male end of a serial signal cable into the RS-
232 connector labeled DIAGNOSTIC PORT of the modem’s
rear panel and tighten the screws.
2 Connect the other end of the serial signal cable to a serial
COM port on the back of your computer or mobile device
and tighten the screws.
