This type of connection includes the DTR signal to allow each end to
detect the loss of the other end’s ability to communicate. If your
computer does not provide the DTR signal, jump Pins 6 and 8 at the KF2
module to Pin 20.
Connection to a Modem
To connect the module to a modem, you can construct your own cable
according to the wiring diagram in Figure 3.7. This cable plugs into the
COMPUTER ASYNCHRONOUS connector on the module and the
RS-232-C compatible connector on the modem (Figure 3.7). Connect the
cable shield at one end only. Be sure that the cable length does not exceed
the RS-232-C limit of 50 feet.
