  • How to get an RS 232 port for the MC16
  • The synchronization port of the MC 16 allready contains the signals of an RS 232 port.
    However, when you connect the synch-cable to it, the pinning of the DB9F contact at the end of the synch-cable becomes the same as if you connect a zero modem cable to a standard PC RS 232 port.
  • To return the pinning to a standard RS 232 port, all you have to do is to connect a real zero modem cable in serial with the synch-cable. Then you have a true RS 232 connection at the DB9M or DB25M contact at the end of the zero modem cable. (Se the note about the wiring of the synch-cable,
    and the note about how to connect a 56k modem to your new RS232 port).
