Panasonic KX-TDA50 Installation Manual page 106

2.8.1 Connection of Peripherals
PC/Printer (via RS-232C)
The PBX is equipped with an RS-232C interface. This interface provides communication between the PBX
and the user-supplied devices such as PC or line printers. The RS-232C port is used for system programming,
SMDR, diagnostics and external system database storage (save/load) functions.
When using special accessories such as cable, the user should use those specified in this installation manual
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to the FCC Rules.
CAUTION
To protect the system, keep the following in mind:
1.
Make sure that both connector cases (frame ground) of the RS-232C cross cable (shielded cable) are
conductive. If they are not conductive, make sure that both connector cases of the cable are firmly
connected.
2.
If this is not possible, connect the frame of the PBX to the frame of the PC/Printer using a grounding
wire in order to prevent difference in the electrical potentials.
