NIC2-2 · Network ID Camera
2. Physical connection
On the back of the Network ID Camera there are four connectors for communication.
2.1 The HOST connector
This connector is a female 9-pin DB9 connector. Its pinout is designed with the 9-pin con-
nector used on PC compatibles in mind. If the Network ID Camera is to be connected to a
PC compatible computer a pin-to-pin cable with a male connector on one end and a female
connector on the other end can be used. If it will be connected to another host computer the
following pin description can be used to make your own cable. Note that the name of the
pins mentioned is what the pin should be connected to. Thus RxD is really an output from
the camera. .

Note that the Network ID Camera do not need any handshake signals to work. It sends out
all handshake signals to the host computer but ignores any handshake input. If your host
computer also ignores the handshake signals you will only need to connect the ground (pin
5) and the TxD (pin 3).
2.2 The AUX connectors
These connectors are of type RJ12 connectors. Note that the name of the pins mentioned
is what the pin should be connected to. Thus RxD is really an output from the camera. .
