DB-9 4-Wire Hardware Handshaking (DTR) Cable
The following four-wire cable is often sufficient for a terminal, printer, or
other DTE device configured for DTR (hardware) flow control. However,
some terminals and printers may have other cable requirements. Consult
your terminal or printer manual for this information. For more universal
compatibility, use a fully-wired DB-9 terminal/printer cable .
Terminal/Printer Cable with DTR Handshaking
Digi DB-9 Connector Pin Assignments
DB-9 Modem Cable
To connect a DB-9 equipped asynchronous adapter to a modem, use a
standard "straight-through" cable. A straight-through cable has a DB-9
female connector at the Digi end, and a DB-9 male connector at the
modem end. All 9 pins are connected, 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, etc. Use
shielded cable, and connect pin 1 of each connector to the cable shield.
Fully-Wired DB-9 Terminal/Printer Cable
The following cable wiring supports most serial terminals or printers with
either software or hardware handshaking. This cable is valid with any Digi
DB-9 serial port.
Most terminals and printers use Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS)
for hardware handshaking. The following cable wiring supports this
method.
