13.7.2 Communicating with an FS unit equipped
with 12-way (circular) connectors
13.7.2.1 Cable
To connect Port 1 on the MP2500 to the FS unit, you need a cable like this,
assuming 12-way connectors on the FS unit:

As fast as you can, to save time.
None needed.
Binary data.
Allows data integrity checking
Minimum required to save time.
Adding LFs would corrupt binary data.
Adding NULLs would corrupt binary data.
Handshake output when receiving and no more
room. (Connected to transmitter's CTS.)
Not needed.
Handshake input when transmitting, allowing
transmission
receiver's RTS.)
Not needed.
Not needed.
There's no point viewing binary data!
As there's a direct connection, you only need a
short timeout, but a longer time makes
operation easier.
A fairly short timeout, as this is used to indicate
the end of the received file.
Filtering bytes would corrupt binary data.
