The following cables are shipped with each converter. They are all you
should need to connect it to a SCANport product and computer.
Figure 2.1 Supplied Cables
Number Description
1 SCANport cable to connect the converter to a drive. 1202-C10
2 Serial cable to connect the converter to the computer. 1203-SFC
3 If you are connecting the converter to an HPC
(handheld PC) or PPC (Palm-sized PC), you must
use either a null cable converter or a standard
computer null cable with two male 9-pin
sub-miniature D connectors. These must be
purchased separately.
Important: To provide proper termination of the serial cable shield, the
chassis of the computer should be properly grounded. If it is
not possible or practical to ground this, then a ground wire
should be connected to the serial cable shield at the shell of
the 9-pin sub-miniature D connector.
