Making Serial Cable Connections

RS232 serial communication enables the Command Line Interface (CLI) and
Command Line Utility (CLU) on your PC to monitor and control the VTrak. On
VTrak, RS232 communication goes through the RJ11 serial connector on each
controller.
Figure 22. Serial communication goes through the RJ11 connector. The
E310f is shown. The E610f, E610s, and E310s are similar
To set up a serial cable connection:

VTrak, to the RJ11 serial connector on one of the controllers.

cable.
