The other end of the cable must have a connector appropriate to the serial port
on your computer or terminal. (Most terminals or computers use a male DB-9
or DB-25 connector.) See Table 3-1 for the pin assignments.
To connect the terminal to the chassis service port:
1. Connect the RS-232 cable to the terminal (or a computer in terminal-
emulation mode) and to the chassis service port.
2. Set the terminal communication parameters as described earlier in this
section.
3. Turn on the terminal; adjust contrast and brightness as required.
