4 Making a multi-drop connection
All terminals and their connection boxes are connected in exactly the same way, regardless of their
terminal IDs. The multi-drop line may be created in one of two ways: creating a chain of connection
boxes, using a junction box.
Most computers use DTE type connectors on their RS-232 ports. The terminal is
equipped with an RJ45 (telephone jack) connector. Therefore, you will need a connection
box intermediating the terminal and the host.

The SY-65 is connected to a
connection box which in turn con-
nects to another connection box,
thereby forming a chain. The SY-65 is connected to a junc-
tion box. A separate cable is con-
nected from each connection box to
the junction box.
