Technical note for advanced users: Two of the first five wires in each chart above
(RTS and CTS) are used for hardware flow control, so if your program uses just
software flow control and not hardware flow control, you may not need to use these two
hardware flow control wires.
➔ If you are not using a PC compatible computer, the wiring required between your
computer and your MT1200 is the same wiring you would use for a “Hayes” type
external telephone modem. This cable should be available from your computer dealer.
Appendix A of this manual includes details on the functions of the MT1200’ pins. The
software (terminal program) requirements are also the same as that used for a
telephone modem.
Installing the RS232 Cable
Once you have purchased or made your serial communication cable, connect it as
follows:
Step 1. Make sure that power to both your computer and your MT1200 is turned OFF.
Step 2. Plug the female DSUB-9 (or DSUB-25) connector end of the serial cable into
a serial port on the computer.
Step 3. Plug the male DSUB-9 connector end of the serial cable into the serial port of
your MT1200 (front panel).
Caution: Be sure you do not connect to a parallel port instead of a serial port. The
MT1200 communicates serially, so it cannot communicate through a parallel port.
Computer’s parallel ports (i.e., printer, or LPT port) usually have female DSUB-25
connectors. Do not connect the MT1200 to a female DSUB-25 connector on the
computer unless you are sure it is a serial (COM) port and is not a parallel (LPT) port.
Step 1. Check the connectors at each end of the cable, and secure the connectors
using the mounting screws,
Step 2. Turn ON the power to your computer, in preparation for running or installing
communication software in the computer, but leave the MT1200 power OFF.
