                     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
