The RS232 serial interface is not an isolated RS232. External galvanic isolation may be
added if required.
Be sure to check whether your serial cable is a null modem cable, commonly known as
crossover cable, or a straight through cable. If in doubt, swap Rx and Tx, and RTS and
CTS, at the other end and give it another go.
Once connected, your serial device should be accessible on your Pepwave MAX router
LAN IP address at the specified TCP port.
