A null modem cable (also called a modem eliminator cable) must be used to connect the control and the
computer COM port. This will ensure that the transmit and receive lines are properly connected. Either a 9 pin
or a 25 pin connector can be used at the computer, Figure 4-26. Maximum recommended length for RS232
cable is 10 ft. (3 meter).
