Attaching the PT Dock to a Computer

Set up the Dock as either a serial device or a keyboard wedge. The cable part number will depend upon your computer type and desired configuration (serial or keyboard wedge).

Caution: Do not attempt to connect a PT Dock to a PC using an

off-the-shelf RS-232 cable. Use a PSC cable manufactured specifically for the PT Dock.
