FT 100S to Remote Control Device
The 9-pin D-type male connector labeled CONTROL on the rear panel
connects to the terminal that controls FT 100S operation, or to a modem
connected to a remote terminal that controls the unit.
The interface is compatible with EIA RS-232 serial data operation and
has pin functions like a DCE interface.
This is the same type of connector with the same pin connections as
found on IBM PC/AT personal computers and compatibles so that stan-
dard cables can be used.
Pin connections for this interface are shown in Table 2-2.
To connect the unit to the network,
1. Insert one end of the cable into the unit's CONTROL port.
2. Insert the other end into the RS-232 connector on the
controlling equipment.
