RS-232 ConnectionsReview cable connections and switch settings. If you ha ve use d your own cables
or adapters for connection to the serial port, check pinouts. Verify that the data
transfer rate (baud rate) of the computer's serial port is the same as sele ct ed by
switches or jumpers on the controller.
The IntelliTouch serial controllers operates at standard RS-232 levels. The
serial port connector, P2, is a 2x5 header with pins on 0.100-inch centers. It is
configured so a ribbon cable and commonly available insulation displacement
connectors (IDCs) may be used. Pin positions and signals are given below. See
page 60 for DB9 and DB25 connector pin positions.

Serial port controller signals
The controller only requires a 2-wire connection, controller Transmit Data (P2
pin3) and Signal Ground (P2 pin 9). For two-way communications, the
controller Receive Data (P2 pin 5) should also be connected to the host
Transmit Data pin.
