RS-232
An RS-232 module supports eight switched or direct
connections to MCS workstations. An RS-232
octocable—which ships with each RS-232
module—provides
❐
Eight 25-pin D-shell male connectors (in the form of
individual cables ganged together at the module end)
which attach to MCS workstations
❐
A 78-pin connector, which attaches to the RS-232
module
Note
You supply the cable between an RS-232 octocable
female and an MCS workstation. Use commonly
available RS-232 cables. For direct connections, use
null-modem cables or adapters.
