Toconnect a terminal to the serial port of a controller:
1. Connect the 6-pin mini-DIN connector of the serial cable to the serial port
connector (diagnostic port) on the controller (FIGURE1-3 onpage 6).
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the serial cable to the serial port connector on
the terminal. It may be necessary to use an RJ45-DB9 adapter between the
serial cable RJ-45 connector and the serial port of the terminal.
3. For PC and laptop serial connections, you will also need to use a null modem.
Connect the null modem between the serial cable or RJ45-DB9 adapter and the
PC serial port.
Note – If your PCdoes not have a serial port, you can use a USB–Serial Port adapter
(separately available from third-party vendors; not included with 2500 Series Array
ship kits).
