Connecting a Serial Device via the Serial CIM
To connect an ASCII serial device, LAN/WAN component or a computer
through an RS-232 serial port to the TMCAT17 system, use one of
Raritan's serial CIMs: P2CIM-SER or P2CIM-SER-EU. These CIMs can
emulate an ASCII terminal and convert the serial data from the ASCII
device to VGA video (800x600x60) and PS/2 keyboard signals. With this
conversion, you can access and operate any ASCII serial device
connected to the system.
Here are some useful features of the serial CIMs:
Interoperates with an ASCII device in the On Line Mode as if the
device were connected to a text terminal
Edits, copies, marks, and resends data to the ASCII serial device or
computer in the Buffer Edit Mode
Maintains eight pages of data in a circular buffer
Provides 12 programmable keys for frequently-used character strings
or commands
Note: The P2CIM-SER and P2CIM-SER-EU are functionally identical. The
only difference between the two is that the P2CIM-SER-EU supports a
wider variety of non-English language keyboards and character sets.

USB connector
RJ-45 connector
The installation of P2CIM-SER or P2CIM-SER-EU is quite easy.
To install a Serial CIM:
1. Connect the CIM to a serial port on the serial device or computer,
using its serial DB9 connector.
