Setup and Operation Serial Interface
Please note that

Extender support a 3-Wire Protocol (Tx/Rx/GND) only.
Connected devices must support a Software Handshake
(XON(XOFF)
No setting up or user adjustments are required. Please note that on the
dual access model, the serial link is always active. Please bear in mind that
the Remote Unit’s serial port is wired as DTE (i.e. the same as that on a
CPU). To connect a serial printer (or other DTE rather than DCE device)
to the Remote Unit, you will need a null modem (crossover) cable between
the Remote Unit and the printer. A serial touch-screen may be plugged
directly into the Remote Unit.
