Connection 

2.1 

COM3 DB9 Connector 

The COM3 Port uses a standard DB9 female 
connector. The suggested connection to the computer 
is shown in Figure 4 to Figure 6. 

When connecting data terminal equipment (DTE) 
together (such as a COM1 port to PC serial port), a 
null-modem cable must be used. One possible 
configuration for a null-modem cable is shown in 
Figure 4.

Null Modem Cable Configuration 

 

 

When connecting data terminal equipment to data 
communication equipment (DCE) (such as the 
D6600/D6100 COM port to a modem), a modem 
cable should be used (such as a straight-through cable 
shown in Figure 5).
