Cable. A straight-through cable should be used between the
TANDBERG RS-232 port and the DTE. The lower table shows the
recommended cable-wiring scheme when connecting the TANDBERG
Codec C90 to a PC through RS-232.
DTR and RTS are ignored. DSR, CD, and CTS are always asserted,
while RI is not used.
Troubleshooting (RS-232)
If communication cannot be established between the PC/terminal and
the TANDBERG Codec data port, the following should be checked:
Verify that the serial cable is a straight-through 9-pin to 9-pin 1.
