The RS-232 IN port is a DB9 male connector pinned as an RS-232 DTE port. It's
only used when multiple Caller ID units are daisychained together; it receives
information from units farther along in the chain. The RS-232 IN port is pinned
this way (see the Note on the previous page about the Busy signal on Pin 9):
