J/RS232-xx-01

Installation

DTE and DCE
Each J/RS232-xx-01 model is configured as a:
• DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) with a male RS-232 port, or a
• DCE (Data Communication Equipment) with a female RS-232 port.
So, the type of media converter and the application in which it is used
determines which type of RS-232 cable is needed:
• Straight-through configuration cable, or
• Null-modem configuration cable.

Sections 1-4 (below and on page 3) illustrate which type of RS-232 cable
should be used for the various applications:
1. J/RS232-CF-01 Media Converter / DCE Device
Use a null-modem RS-232 cable with a male connector when connecting
a J/RS232-CF-01 or J/RS232-CF-01(SC) media converter to a DCE device.
