Using a 9 pin D-Sub connector, this is an RS-232 serial port using the standard PC-style
HOT TIP!
This port is configured for DCE (Data Communications Equipment) as opposed to
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) operation – meaning that it looks like a modem, not
a computer. Therefore, a "reversing" or "null- modem" cable is required to connect to a
modem, while a standard "straight through" cable is required to interface to a
h
computer. Cables may be easily fabricated or may be obtained from a computer store.
The following tables show the recommended cable configuration for connecting the
2101 Studio Interface or Telos TWO to 9 pin & 25 pin DTE (computer) serial ports.

The serial interface only provides one handshake output signal, CTS (on Pin 8). When standard
cables are used it may be necessary to disable "handshaking" or "flow control" in the serial port
