This cable takes the control signals on a RS-232 serial
line, and uses these as an external trigger. It provides
interface with any peripheral unit that requires or controls
transmit/receive synchronization. Note that this cable
does not support all the signals in the standard RS-232 specification.
Note
This synchronization method can only be used with RS-232 communication. You can
only connect two systems together.
Unless otherwise specified, this cable must be provided by the installation shipyard.
