Cables for connecting a Distribution Panel to a Device
It is important to use appropriate cables when connecting terminals, printers and
other serial devices to a DTC distribution panel. This is because certain signals are
present for test purposes on otherwise unused pins of the 25-pin connectors of the
distribution panels.
In particular, for RS-232 direct connections (no modem signals) to direct-connect or
modem ports, use cables with these connections only:
Pin1: Shield
Pin2: Receive Data (input)
Pin3: Transmit Data (output)
Pin7: Signal Ground
Using cables which have other pins connected can cause the DTC to fail its selftest
and may damage the line driver.
