Cable Connections

This appendix provides pin assignments for ports on the main module
and the serial expander module. This appendix also provides cable
configurations for connecting some personal computers to the 9-pin
and 25-pin ports.

Table C.A provides the pin assignments for the 9-pin COMM0 (/term)
port on the control-coprocessor main module. Figure C.1 and Figure C.2
show cable configurations for connecting either a 9-pin or 25-pin
communication port of a personal computer to the control-coprocessor
main module 9-pin port.
