You will need to purchase an RS232C cable and a null modem adapter. RS232C cables are
available as male to male or male to female. Even if the cable you buy already has the Male
to Male connectors, you will still have to have the null modem adapter. Below you will see
the pin connections that are internal to a standard device. (These items are available at your
local electronics stores.)
To connect the scanner to scanner:
Plug the male end of the RS232C straight interface cables into the remote port on the rear of
one of the two scanners. Then connect the DB-9 to DB-9 null modem adapter to the cable.
Then plug the the other side of the null modem adapter to the other scanner. (DB9 Gender
changers are also available at your local electronics store.)
