IMC Networks FiberLinX Appendix

Appendix

The serial port uses an IBM-compatible DB-9 serial connector. To

connect the device to your terminal/computer, use a DB 9-pin male/female

null modem cable. (If your computer/terminal has a serial port using a

connection not compatible with a DB-9 COM port, use the Pin Connection

table below for reference in making a cable.) Make sure the cable length is

under 50 ft. (15.24m). Plug one end of the cable into the DB-9 connector

on the device, and the other into

the appropriate port on your

computer/terminal. Set your

computer/terminal for VT-100

emulation. The serial port on the

computer/terminal should be set

for 38.4K BAUD, 8 data bits, 1

stop bit, no parity, no flow control.
