| 55 | | The NX-584/NX-8E has a male DB9 serial interface. To connect the interface to another computer, either: |
| 56 | | |
| 57 | | * Use a female-to-female null modem cable, which swaps RX/TX and CTS/RTS to allow connection to a computer with a serial port, or |
| 58 | | * Use a female-to-female gender changer or a straight female-to-female cable, and adjust the jumpers on the NX-584/NX-8E board to make it swap RX and TX pins and RTS and CTS pins. |
| 59 | | |
| 60 | | To connect the Vera directly, get a USB-to-serial adapter, plug the DB9 end into the null modem cable or gender changer, and plug the USB end into Vera. |
| 61 | | |
| 62 | | Alternatively you can use an IP-to-Serial bridge such as ser2net on a computer near the NX-584/NX-8E, and set up an IPSerial interface on Vera. |
