An RSĆ232 cable is available as an optional accessory
to the J17 (refer to Appendix A, Accessories, for orderĆ
ing information). This cable has a 3.5 mm connector for
the J17, and a DBĆ9 female connector for connection to
the computer. (Another common RSĆ232 connector on
computers and terminals is the DBĆ25 connector.
Adapters are commercially available to convert from the
DBĆ9 connector to a DBĆ25 connector.)
The RSĆ232 interface is connected to a VT100 or VT102
terminal, or a personal computer with a terminal
emulator installed. Typical examples of VT100 and
VT102 emulators are Kermit, ProComm, and the
Windows Terminal communications software.
