1.3 Connect Devices, Hosts, and Power

1. Connect each serial device or host to be connected by the SERIMUX to any port labeled "1" through "16" using a DTE
or DCE type serial cable. It may be necessary to add one of the cable adapters (supplied) detailed in "Cable Adapters"
(page 95) between the device port on the serial device or host and the RJ45 connector.
Note: There are two types of serial devices,1) data communication equipment (DCE)(i.e. modem) and 2) data terminal
equipment (DTE) (i.e. CPU), each having different connector pin assignments. The cable adapters (see Materials on
page 3) make the proper connections.
2. If connecting a printer, connect either a serial printer cable to the remaining male SUB D 9 connector or a parallel printer
cable to the female SUB D 25 connector (see Fig. 3).
3. Connect the powercord to the IEC power connector.
Attach local printer
either by parallel cable to "Parallel"
or by serial cable to "Serial"
