Getting Started Overview This document describes how to build cables for Comtrol products. This chapter describes the standard Comtrol cables and the basic types of devices that can connect to Comtrol products. It also explains the difference between shielded and unshielded cables. This chapter covers the following topics: RS- Pinouts Standard Comtrol Cables DTE versus DCE Shielded vs. Unshielded RS- Pinouts RS- pinouts are not the same across Comtrol product lines. For example, a DB9 loopback plug designed for a RocketPort model will not work on a DeviceMaster model. When you build a cable make sure that you use the correct pinouts for the Comtrol product. The following sections describes the valid pinouts and cabling for each product: Building Cables for RocketPort Products Building Cables for DeviceMaster Products Standard Comtrol Cables The following table displays standard cables for RocketPort products.

DTE versus DCE DTE versus DCE Most devices, except modems, are Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) devices. Modems are Data Communication Equipment (DCE) devices. Comtrol ports are configured as DTE. How you build a cable depends on which device your are connecting to (DTE or DCE). For example, you need a null-modem cable to connect the COM ports (com1 or com) on the computer or the DeviceMaster ports to printers, terminals, bar code readers or DNC equipment. If you are connecting a DTE device to a DCE device you need a straight-through modem cable. Straight-through cable (DTE to DCE) - Connects TxD to TxD and RxD to RxD. Null-modem cable (DTE to DTE) - Connect TxD to RxD and RxD to TxD. RS- DTE to DCE Straight-Through Cables RS- DTE to DTE Null-Modem Cables This topic describes how to build a straight-through cable. Use a straight-through cable to connect to a DCE device. The following figure shows the most common types of DTE to DCE cables. This cable configuration works with most modems and is generally called a modem cable. Note: If you have a DTE to DCE interface but are uncertain as to which signals are required, you can use a full 5-wire cable. The 5-wire cable is constructed as shown in the following cable example, but the remaining pins are not used.

If you need RTS-CTS/DTR-DSR hardware flow control, you can use the pinouts provided in the following example. Note: If the wiring on the peripheral device differs from the one shown below, adjust the pinouts accordingly.

The cable shield must connected to the chassis ground at both ends to reduce EMI. If the cable shield is not connected to the chassis ground at both ends, the EMI radiation from your system may exceed the limits allowed for FCC class A equipment. You can use an isolation device if you experience problems with ground loops. Refer to the statement on electromagnetic compliance in the Comtrol hardware document to determine the FCC class for your Comtrol product. Getting Started [Documentation number: 0000 Rev B]

You can use it with application software (for example, Test Terminal or MiniCom) to test serial ports. The RS-/ single loopback plug is shipped with the following DeviceMaster models: DeviceMaster RTS, DeviceMaster PRO and DeviceMaster UP. To build an RS-/RS- loopback plug, wire the following pins together: Pins to 5 Pins 1 to 8 1 8 The RS- loopback plug also Pins to to Plug Top View works for RS-. Note: For more information on Cable testing serial ports, see the Help in Test Terminal (WCom.exe). Test Terminal is installed when you install PortVision. RS-85 Test Cable You can use a straight-through cable as illustrated previously, or build your own cable.
