How to use
Plug each DB-9 connector into the corresponding serial port on the host device and the peripheral, ensuring correct orientation before securing any thumbscrews if present. Confirm serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, and flow control) in the device software or operating system to match the connected device.
