C.1 Wiring TracVision Cruiser to a
15-pin Data Connector
In some instances, the IRD provided with a satellite TV service
may be equipped with a 15-pin connector (DB15 wide-band
data port), rather than a 9-pin connector (DB9 low-speed data
port). There are two methods that will allow a TracVision
Cruiser system to function through a DB15 port.
Splicing a DB15 Connector to the Data Cable
It is possible to splice a DB15 connector to the TracVision
Cruiser data cable after removing the male DB9 connector. The
alternate wiring arrangement is as follows:
DB9 Pin

Creating a DB9-to-DB15 Adapter
It is also possible to construct a DB9-to-DB15 adapter that will
remove the need to cut and splice the data cable. When
constructing such an adapter, follow the DB9-to-DB15 pin
arrangement detailed in Table C-1.
