5.0 OPERATION
Once your interface converter is properly configured and installed,
it should operate transparently—as if it were a standard cable
connection. Operating power is derived from the RS-232 data and
control signals; there is no “ON/OFF” switch.

4.0 INSTALLATION
The Patton Model 2036 and 2037 are very simple to install. Once
you have configured the DIP switches, just plug your converter in to a
standard cable and you’re ready to go. Figure 3 illustrates the proper
connections for the Model 2036 and 2037. If you have special-ordered
a non-standard connector, your connections may be different.
