3.1 RS-232C Interface Specifications
[ 1 ] Interface Connector and Pin Assignment
The BHT-6000 has a direct-connect interface port which is connectable to the 3-pole
mini stereo plug (ø2.5 mm or 0.1") and supports a subset of the RS-232C interface as
shown below.
Using a direct-connect interface cable having the mini stereo plugs makes it possible
to connect the BHT-6000 to a host computer (or another BHT-6000) directly without
any routing through the CU-6000.

NOTE
The direct-connect interface port is not designed to stand frequent connecting/
disconnecting. Do not plug and unplug basically more than one time a day;
otherwise, the service life of the plug will shorten. To connect the BHT-6000 to a
host computer (or another BHT-6000) frequently, use the CU-6000.
Allow the specified signals only to enter the direct-connect interface port. Entry of
other signals will result in a failure or malfunction of the BHT-6000.
