CCM RS232 Cable Wire Connection

The CCM is classified as data terminal equipment that communicates using an RS-232C standard 25-pin connector. A null modem cable or adapter is required to connect the CCM to other data terminal equipment like PCs, while direct connection to data communication equipment like modems does not require these. The document provides pin definitions and requirements for connecting the CCM directly to a PC using a 9 to 25-pin cable with null modem adapter.

RS-232C Cable Requirements
SMCS - 1926
The CCM is classified as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) for RS-232C communication.
 The CCM RS-232C connector is a standard 25 pin D shell connector with pins.
 The RS-232C cable must be shielded.
 When the CCM is connected to other DTE devices a Null Modem cable or an adapter is required.
A personal computer is an example of a DTE device.
 When the CCM is connected to Data Communication Equipment (DCE) a Null Modem cable or an
adapter is not required. Modems, printers, and terminals are examples of DCE devices.
 The DCD pin on the CCM must be asserted in order to allow the CCM to communicate. If the
DCD pin is deasserted, the CCM will shut down all outgoing information.
If the PC has a 9 pin RS-232C connector a 9 to 25 pin cable with a null modem adapter is required. Refer
to Illustration 2. (Two Female Connectors)

(3) Null modem adapter

(4) CCM with 25 pin RS-232C connector

The null modem adapter connects the Data Transmit of one device to the Data Receive of the other
device. The Null Modem adapter connects the Data Carrier Detect and the Data Terminal Ready pins in a
similar manner. Cables are available from most personal computer suppliers.
Note: Verify that the cables and null modem adapters are compatible with the specifications in Tables 1
and 2.
