Note: The serial/power connector and the input device connector lead to the same serial port, COM1. Do not connect more than one serial device to the 243X.

To connect the 243X to a serial device using the serial/power connector

1.Attach a serial device to the serial adapter cable (Part No. 216-807-001) (sold and ordered separately).

2.Connect the serial adapter cable to the serial/power connector on the 243X.

To connect the 243X to a serial device using the input device connector

1.Attach a serial device to the RS-232 null-modem serial cable (Part No. 070268) (sold and ordered separately).

2.Connect the serial cable to the input device connector on the 243X.

You can transfer data between the 243X and the serial device. For help, see “Using

Serial Communications on the Terminal” in Chapter 3.
