2.15 Serial ports (CN16, CN14)
The PCM-5820 Series offers two serial ports: one RS-232 and one
RS-232/422/485. These ports allow you to connect to any serial
device (a mouse, printers, etc.) or communication network.
2.15.1 COM1 RS-232 port (CN16)
The serial port connectors are mounted on the bottom edge of the
card. The 9-pin D-SUB connector to the left of the card is the
RS-232 port.
2.15.2 COM2 RS-232/422/485 selection (CN14)
The secondary port located above COM1, consists of a 14-pin,
dual-in-line, male header and can be configured to operate in
RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 mode. This is done via J4.
