Serial (RS-232-C) Cable Pin Assignments

The CubiScan 125 serial ports use the EIA RS-232-C communications protocol. The data are
serially transmitted ASCII characters.

The following table shows the serial connector pin assignments. All other pins are not connected.

The following table shows the parameters for asynchronous communications through the RS-232
serial cable.

Ethernet (TCP/IP) Cable Pin Assignments

The CubiScan 125 Ethernet port uses the 10/100Base-T TCP/IP communications protocol. The
following table shows the Ethernet RJ-45 connector pin assignments.
