Table 2-8 LK401 Keyboard Port or
CnP Port 1 (DUART 0 channel B)

There are no jumper options.

RJ11 "handset" type jack. Keyboard plugs straight in. Pin 2 is on the fused
(.5A) +12 volt supply.

Console Port Connector Pin Option

Default

JP13 1-2

pin 7 to CTS

yes

JP13 2-3

pin 7 to Port 3 RX

JP12 1-2

pin 8 to RTS

yes

JP12 1-3

pin 8 to Port 3 TX

JP11 1-2 (only)

pin 9 to fused (.5A) +12 volts

JP11 2-3 (only)

pin 9 to fused (.5A) +5 volts

The console port is a DB9 female connector.

At the connector, CTS is an input and RTS is an output. Not all
installations require these signals.

Table 2-10 Extra Port or
CnP Port 3 (DUART 1 channel B)

No connector is supplied for this port, but the signals can be output from
the Console Port with option jumpering. See Console Port Options, above.
