Connecting to the Serial Port of the TMG3200
To view debug output data for a TMG3200, you must first physically connect your computer port to the
serial port of the TMG3200.
To connect to the serial port of a TMG3200:
1. Connect a CAT5 RJ-45 (male-male) cable (supplied with unit) between the com port of your
computer and the serial port of the TMG3200 as shown in figure 5.1 on page 32. See figure 5.3 on
page 33 for a RJ-45 pinout description.
2. If your computer’s serial port features a DB9 connector, use the DB9 to RJ-45 adapter supplied with
your TMG3200. If your computer's serial port features a USB connector, you will need to provide a
USB to DB9 adaptor. Refer to figure 5.2 on page 32.
