Setting Up and Operation
For the vast majority of typical applications the default settings (9600 Baud, No Hardware
Flow Control) will suffice. Simply set-up your extender as detailed in the manual and
connect the required serial peripheral.
Please bear in mind that the Remote Unit’s serial port is wired as DTE (i.e. the same as
that on a PC). To connect a serial printer (or other DTE rather than DCE device) to the
Remote Unit. you will need a Null-Modem (crossover) cable between the Remote Unit
and the printer. Select Xon/Xoff software flow control on the printer and PC.
A serial Touchscreen may be plugged directly into the Remote Unit.
