Local Serial Port Connection to the KSX II
The local serial port of the KSX II must be connected to the COM port of
a computer system, a terminal, or some other serial capable device
using a null modem cable with DB-9F null on both ends.
If your KSX II's terminal port uses an RJ45 jack, a special cable (CRLVR)
is used with an ASCSDB9F connector on the client machine. The
CRLVR may also be used if RJ45-RJ45 connection to local port is
established - that is, if you connect the local port of a KSX II device as a
serial target to another KSX II.
