Most PC serial ports require a cable with a female DB-9 connector. Terminal connections will vary, requiring a cable with either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female.

Serial cable options between the router and a PC or terminal are shown in Figure 253.

NOTE

As shown in Figure 252 and Figure 253, some wires should not be connected. If you connect wires that are labeled “Reserved”, you may experience unexpected results with some terminals.
