Appendix B Cable Charts | B&B Electronics 232BSS4 specification

Appendix B: Cable Charts

All charts give full pin outs. Only pins 2 & 3 are required for basic operation. Handshaking pins are needed for hardware (RTS/CTS) handshaking or if DTR is to be used to signal the Master port to accept commands. See Appendix C for a block diagram of the 232BSS4.
