RS-232
A standard RS-232 serial port uses a DB-9 male connector, and is labeled "COM" (see
operates as COM1 in software. A standard "null-modem" cable can be used to communicate to another DTE device,
or a "straight-through" cable can be used to communicate to a DCE device, such as a modem.

Note
straight-though or null-modem cable. If fabricating a cable, connect the shield (drain) wire to the DB-9S
(socket) connector shell at the JACE end only—do not connect the drain wire at the other end.
RS-485
An RS-485, optically isolated port uses a 3-position, screw terminal connector and always operates as COM2. Wire
to this connector with shielded 18-22AWG wiring (refer to the TIA/EIA-485 standard). As shown in
485 screw terminals (from left-to-right) are shield (GND), Data plus (+), and Data minus (–).
