Connections

2.4.1 RS232 Serial Port

The serial port is a 9 pin DB9 female and provides for
connection to a host device as well as a PC terminal for
configuration, field testing and for factory testing.
Communication is via standard RS232 signals. The 455U-D
is configured as DCE equipment with the pinout detailed
below. Hardware handshaking using the CTS/RTS lines is
provided. The CTS/RTS lines can be configured to reflect
the status of the local unit’s input buffer. The 455U-D
supports XON/XOFF flow control.

Example cable drawings for connection to a DTE host (a PC) or another DCE host (or modem) is
detailed below.
