Null Modem Adapter - Polycom HDX series Reference Manual

Null Modem Adapter

This adapter is used when connecting a Polycom HDX system to a serial
device that transmits on pin 3 such as Crestron Pro2 processor. It is a male to
female DB-9 adapter plug. This connection may require the RS-232 cable, part
number 2457-09172-001, on page 2-39.
Do not use this adapter with an AMX device. AMX systems support both RS-232
and RS-422. Therefor, for RS-232 support, use a null modem cross-over cable that
carries only pins 2, 3, and 5, with pins 2 and 3 crossed.
