Serial Cable

To connect the TGR-401 port to a computer, you will need a "straight- through" serial cable. This has con- nector pins at one end connected directly to the pins of the connector at the other end. For example, pin 1 at one end connects to pin 1 at the other end, pin 2 connects to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3 and so on.

These common cables are avail- able from most computer stores (or from Radio Shack as # 26-117). It should be 9-pin male at one end, to t into the TGR-401 and normally

9-pin female at the other, to t into your computer's serial port (COM1 or COM2).
