2.6.2 RS232 Connection

The cabling required to communicate between the PC and the Model 225 is
provided. It consists of a 9-pin adaptor which attaches to the serial port of most
recent PCs. This adaptor accepts one end of the flat cable with RJ-11
connectors. The other end of the cable is plugged into the Model 225. The
black “phone” jack on the back of the unit is intended for the serial
communications.
