HP 13266A Current Loop Converter to port #1 as illus-

Port #2 Cabling
The HP 13242 cables listed in table 7-2 all have a male
RS-232C connector on one end and either a male or female
RS-232C connector on the other. The male end attaches to
port #2 on the rear panel ofthe terminal and the other end
attaches to the modem, computer multiplexer panel, ex-
ternal printer, or interface cable as illustrated in figure
7-5. For those HP 13242 cables with a male connector on
both ends it makes no difference which end is attached to
the terminal.
Since the port #2 plug on the terminal is a standard RS-
232C female connector, you can use cables other than those
listed in table 7-2 as long as they have a male RS-232C
connector on one end and their pin-outs are compatible
with those of the HP 13242 cables.
