Communicating data
8
The PTC-960L is able to communicate with other
PTCs, host computers, and external accessories such
as printers. It can both send and receive data and
instructions. Communication is controlled by your
organization’s application program. See the manual
or instructions provided by your organization for
details on conducting communication sessions.
The PTC-960L can communicate by being connected
directly to the host computer by cable or by being
placed in an optional communication cradle that is
connected to the host computer through an optical
communication link. Accessories such as printers are
connected to the PTC with a cable.
Using the micro DB-15 connector
Making a direct connection between the PTC-960L
and another computer or accessory requires a cable
with a micro DB-15 connector on one end and a
standard RS-232 signal interface on the other. The
cable must be ordered separately. See the cables listed
in
Connecting a cable

Make sure you have the correct cable for the
device to which you are connecting. If you use the
wrong cable, the PTC may not be able to
communicate.
