Using a Direct RS-232 Connection for Local Communications
When a computer can be located near the Omnia-6fm, it may be convenient to use a direct serial cable
connection rather than dial up. Use a standard, straight-through serial cable - null-modem cables will not
work! A typical serial cable will need a DB-25 male connector for the Omnia-6fm end, and probably a DB-
9 female connector on the computer end. You should verify the exact type required by your computer.

The Remote Control software allows multiple connection profiles to be created so that a mix of connection
types (Direct, Serial, TCP/IP) may be used. This allows the program to easily support communicating with
different Omnias at different locations, connected by different means.
