Connect your KPC-9612 Plus to Your Computer
Your KPC-9612 Plus and your computer communicate with each other via a se-
rial communication cable connecting the KPC-9612 Plus’s “Computer” port and
a serial (COM) port on your computer. This connection is shown in the diagram
on page 35.
Your Serial Communication Cable
The serial cable needed to connect your KPC-9612 Plus to your computer (a
standard off-the-shelf, RS-232 modem cable) is not supplied with the KPC-9612
Plus. You will need to purchase one, or construct one.
Note: You may construct your own cable, using wiring instructions given below.
The two options, purchasing your cable or making it, are covered next.
Purchase Your Serial Cable
To purchase your cable (from your local amateur radio dealer or computer
dealer):
•
specify that you need a standard serial modem cable (RS-232C), with
high quality shielding, of whatever length is appropriate, and at least 9
wires connected,
•
specify that one connector be a male DB-25 connector (to connect to
your KPC-9612 Plus’s female “Computer” port) and the other connector
be a female DB-9 or DB-25 connector (depending upon whether your
computer’s serial (COM) port has a male DB-9 or DB-25 connector),
Make Your Serial Cable
This section is for those making their own cable instead of purchasing one.
We assume that if you are making their own cable you are familiar with the pro-
cess and just need to know: (1) what parts are needed, and (2) how the parts are
connected.
