Kodak 8670, 8660 manual Connecting the NIC Serial Configuration Port to a Console Terminal

Using Configuration Utilities

Connecting the NIC Serial Configuration Port to a

Console Terminal

The console facility is used for diagnosing and configuring the NIC. It can also be used for downloading new firmware to the NIC. The console is accessed from the NIC’s serial port which has a PC-compatible 9-pin male D-connector.

The following table lists the function of each of the pins in the D- connector:

DE9			DTE	DCE
Pin	Signal	Signal	Pin	Pin
1	Not Used	Not Used	-	-
2	Recve Data	Trnsmt	2	3

3	Trnsmt	Recve Data	3	2

4	DTR Out	DSR In	6	20
5	Signal Grnd	Signal Grnd	7	7
6	DSR In	DTR Out	20	6
7	RTS Out	CTS In	5	4
8	CTS In	RTS Out	4	5
9	Not Used	Not Used	-	-

The standard 9-pin female to 25-pin male PC cables require a null modem to connect to most printers or terminals. The cable must connect input signals such as receive data on the NIC to the equivalent output signals such as transmit data on the device and vice-versa.
