computer. It can then communicate using virtual serial ports instead of
conventional inter-process communication mechanisms.

The parallel connector is a 25-PIN D sub Male connector at the leftmost
location in the connector area for Aura-9000P. Apply the female end of the
parallel cable at this port for parallel application.

LAN cable of CAT 5 with proper length to connect the LAN connector on the
