There are two types of RS232 serial devices: '''DTE''' and '''DCE'''. DTE typically refers to the serial port on a PC or terminal, while DCE refers to communication devices. Connectors mounted on DTE are likely to be male, and those mounted on DCE are likely to be female.
 +
 +
This device is DCE and has a female connector.
 +
----
 +
To connect a standard DTE device, use a straight-through Female/Male RS232 cable:

 +
See straight cable pinout below:

 +
----
 +
 +
To connect another DCE device to RUT955, a Null-modem (crossed) Male/Male cable should be used:

See straight crossed cable pinout below:

 +

 +
----
 +
 +
Maximum cable length is 15 meters or the cable length equal to a capacitance of 2500 pF (for a 19200 baud rate). Using lower capacitance cables can increase the distance. Reducing communication speed can also increase maximum cable length.|}}
