Example Communications Set-Up; Communicating With Another Mp2500 (Or An Fs Unit With A 9-Way D-Type) - Husky MP2500 Manual

13.7 Example communications set-up

This section describes the cables and configurations you will need to
connect the serial port, Port 1 (COM2) to a number of popular devices, in
order to transfer binary or ASCII (text) data. The cable details assume that

the fastest speed available, simple CTS/RTS handshaking and parity
checking. There is no need for a protocol, as the handshaking controls data
flow and parity checking provides reasonable security.
