2.0 Making the Right
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.

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).
