Chapter 6: Physical Hook-up and Troubleshooting

This chapter will cover 232CC pinout, communication cable data, and troubleshooting information.

Pinouts

The 232CC Serial Cards are wired as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) devices. The 232CC Serial Cards can be connected directly to DCE (Data Communication Equipment) devices with a straight through cable. If you need to connect two DTE devices, you will need a null modem cable or cross-over cable.
