This nine-pin D connector accepts a standard straight-through nine-pin RS-232 serial cable toconnect to a standard AT-style RS-232 port.The following cable is available:IC200CBL001 Cable, CPU ProgrammingPort SettingsThe serial (COM) port of the terminal or computer that is connected to the Ethernet Interface must use thesame communications parameters as the Ethernet Interface.The default values for the Station Manager port are 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. If the EthernetInterface is configured with default values for this port, or the Ethernet Interface has not been configured, usethese default values. If the Ethernet Interface is configured with non-default values for this port, use thosevalues for the serial port settings of the terminal or computer.
