Connecting the Upload/Download Cable
The RS-232 port connects the terminal to the host computer for
uploading and downloading application files using the RS-232 serial
cable (Upload/Download cable). Cables of different lengths are
available in separate kits (A-B Catalog Numbers 2711-NC13,
2711-NC14, 2706-NC13).
The Upload/Download cable can be connected to a computer with a
9-pin, RS-232 port (IBM PC AT
R-type computers). Use the cable
pinout shown in Figure 2.11 to connect the terminal to the host
computer. For instructions about transferring files using the
Upload/Download cable, refer to the PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual or the PanelView
1200/1400e Transfer Utility User Manual.

Connecting the Serial Printer
You will need to construct your own cable to connect a serial printer
to the terminal. Use the pinout shown in Figure 2.12 to construct the
PanelView terminal end of this cable. To construct the printer end of
the cable, consult the user manual for your printer.
