Installation
DTE and DCE
Each J/RS232-xx-01 model is configured as a:
• DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) with a male RS-232 port, or a
• DCE (Data Communication Equipment) with a female RS-232 port.
So, the type of media converter and the application in which it is used
determines which type of RS-232 cable is needed:
• Straight-through configuration cable, or
• Null-modem configuration cable.
NOTE: The J/RS232-xx-01 only uses pins 2, 3 and 5.
Install the RS-232 Cable
Sections 1-4 (below and on page 3) illustrate which type of RS-232 cable
should be used for the various applications:
1. J/RS232-CF-01 Media Converter / DCE Device
Use a null-modem RS-232 cable with a male connector when connecting
a J/RS232-CF-01 or J/RS232-CF-01(SC) media converter to a DCE device.

2. J/RS232-TF-01 Media Converter / DCE Device
Use a straight-through RS-232 cable with a female connector when
connecting a J/RS232-TF-01 or J/RS232-TF-01(SC) media converter to a
DCE device.
3. J/RS232-CF-01 Media Converter / DTE Device
Use a straight-through RS-232 cable with a male connector when
connecting a J/RS232-CF-01 or J/RS232-CF-01(SC) media converter to a
DTE device.
4. J/RS232-TF-01 Media Converter / DTE Device
Use a null-modem RS-232 cable with a female connector when
connecting a J/RS232-TF-01 or J/RS232-TF-01(SC) media converter to a
DTE device.
