Can someone do me a favor and look on the RS232 cable for the 7914 and tell me th pinout? Seems our only 7914 cable came up missing during a move of the receptionist and of course, I can't get it to work. Thanks.


It is what it is!!

I think this is correct, but if someone else out there knows for sure it would be best to take their advice.

This as far as I'm aware is standard RS232
Serial (RS232) port interface pinout and signals
9pin# 25pin# Acronym Full name Direction Mean
3 2 TxD Transmit Data —» Transmits bytes out of PC
2 3 RxD Receive Data «— Receives bytes into PC
7 4 RTS Request To Send —» RTS/CTS flow control
8 5 CTS Clear To Send «— RTS/CTS flow control
