Serial Port Pin Connectors
NetScan is equipped with two DB9 connectors, both located on the rear panel. The DB9
connector labeled CONFIG is for ethernet configuration only. The DB9 connector labeled
RS-232/422 is for serial interface applications. The serial port default is for the RS-232
connector configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) for an IBM AT at RS-232 levels.
An optional CA-47 cable (or equivalent) connects the NetScan with the computer. The NetScan side of the cable has
a male DB9 connector for use with the RS-232/422 serial port. The cable’s computer side has 2 connectors: one for
DB9, and the other for DB25. Other crossover-type cables can be used if wired as shown in the figure. The
following table lists the RS-232 and RS-422 pin connections for a DB9.
