RS-232 Serial Communications Port
Use a standard serial cable to connect to the host device via RS-232. The following diagram displays the pin
diagram of the serial connector of the bottom panel of the Mobile Base.
Signals referenced are for a DTE device.
The Mobile Base connector is straight to the printed circuit board (PCB). The ninth pin sends 500mA at 5 Volts
power out. This can power a peripheral device, such as a mobile printer, as long as that peripheral device can
accept 500mA at 5 Volts.
