NV3128 RS-422A Machine-Control Routing Switch

2-17

OPTION II:

If the controlling RS232 device communicates over a 25-

pin serial port:
1. Configure the Control Interface Module as a DTE
2. Create (or buy) a 9-pin (male) to 25-pin (female) cable using the

9-pin to 25-pin RS-232 wire list below.

OPTION III:

If the controlling RS232 device communicates over

a 9-pin serial port:
1. Configure the Control Interface Module as a DCE.
2. Connect the Control Interface Module and the controlling device

using a 9-pin to 9-pin (male to female) cable, connected straight

through ( no exchange of pins).
