Attaching the Null Modem Cable

Before you can use the SUU, you must connect your HRDVS to your PC using a serial null
modem RS-232 cable (supplied with your unit). This is not a standard serial cable.

Note

If you want to make your own cable, see

page 18

for the proper pin

assignment.

Connect one end of the null modem cable to the COM1 or COM2 serial port on your
PC.

Connect the other end of the null modem cable to Text Insertion Port on the back of
your HRDVS unit.
