Chapter 3. Communications Operations of the BHT-100Q/100B
3.2 RS-232C Interface Specifications
[ 1 ] Interface Connector and Pin Assignment
The BHT has a direct-connect interface port which is connectable to the 3-pole mini
stereo plug (ø2.5 mm or 0.1") and supports a subset of the RS-232C interface as shown
below.
Using a direct-connect interface cable having the mini stereo plugs makes it possible
to connect the BHT to a host computer (or another BHT) directly without any routing
through the CU-7000.

• The direct-connect interface port is not designed to stand frequent connecting/
disconnecting. Do not plug and unplug basically more than one time a day;
otherwise, the service life of the plug will shorten. To connect the BHT to a host
computer having no IR port (or another BHT) frequently, use the CU-7000.
• Allow the specified signals only to enter the direct-connect interface port. Entry
of other signals will result in a failure or malfunction of the BHT.
