                    The things I do to configure equipment

[Manually wiring up a serial port] [1] [2]It was a little easier this time
since I wasn't shoving raw wires into the female DE-9 connector [3], but pre-
crimped wires. Still, working out which way the wires go took a few diagrams
to get it straight, so to speak.

[Working out which wires go where] [4] [5] So, for my own notes, the wiring
diagram for the BayTech DS9 [6] with the DS72 [7] module with a roll-over
cable (Smirk, you might want to copy this down):

> BLUE  → pin 4 DE-9
> ORANGE        →
> BLACK → pin 7
> RED   → pin 3
> GREEN → pin 2
> YELLOW        → pin 1
> BROWN → pin 5
> WHITE → pin 8
>

and for a straight through cable:

> BLUE  → pin 8
> ORANGE        → pin 5
> BLACK → pin 1
> RED   → pin 2
> GREEN → pin 3
> YELLOW        → pin 7
> BROWN →
> WHITE → pin 4
