Installing the Serial Converter
Objectives
Chapter 2 provides instructions for installing the serial converter.
Selecting Cables
The following cables are shipped with each converter. They are all you

Important: To provide proper termination of the serial cable shield, the
chassis of the computer should be properly grounded. If it is
not possible or practical to ground this, then a ground wire
should be connected to the serial cable shield at the shell of
the 9-pin sub-miniature D connector.
