Note 1. To connect more than one PC to a host computer, used the 3G2A9-AL004-E
or 3G2A9-AL004-PE Link Adapter (for RS-232C-to-RS-422 cable conver-
sion) and the 3G2A9-AL001 Link Adapter (to branch to other Units).
2. The shield of the cable must be connected to the connector hood of the PC
for lines connecting PCs to Link Adapters, and to pin 7 on one and only one
Link Adapter on lines connecting two Link Adapters.
3. Leave Host Link Unit pins 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 unconnected. (Leave CPU pins 3,
7, and 9 unconnected and short-circuit pins 4 and 5.)
