Figure 1-14: Connecting Easi-PiCo to Party Line Beltpacks

The "user" side of the CCI-22 for each channel is on a pair of DB-9M 
connectors on the rear of the interface frame. The diagram below shows the 
pinout of either one of these connectors. Both DB-9Ms are paralleled such that 
both party-line channels are available on each connector. 

It is possible to wire one DB-9 connector as channel #1, the second DB-9M as 
channel #2. This is the default wiring recommend for each map.

It is also possible to bring both channels out on a single DB9 connector.
