Connecting the VCD 7500 Vehicle Cradle to Gateway, a Host
Computer, Printer or Modem
1. Plug a 9-pin serial cable into the communication port located next to the power port
on the side of the cradle.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the serial (COM) port of the host computer.
Note: In performing serial communications, in most cases, you must use a
null-modem cable. However, modems and some serial printers (DCE-
type) require a DB9 or DB25 connection. For a DB25 connection, use
cable p/n 25-19297-01. For a DB9 connection, use cable p/n 25-
19299-01 (see your System Administrator).
