Serial Port Pin Assignments
The DS1101 and DS1102 are identical to each other, with one exception: The DS1101 has the RS232 port, while the DS1102 has a universal RS232/422/485 port.
Pin assignments below list additional TX and RX lines (for example, TX2 and RX2) next to "traditional" functions such as RTS and CTS. This is because the serial ports of DS1101 and DS1102 devices offer multiple serial channels .

Power input/output ("12VDC")* |
- An attached serial device can be powered through this pin — there is an internal relay that can pass the power received into the power jack to pin 9 of the serial port. The Power on Pin 9 setting enables or disables this power output. Alternatively, the DS1101 can itself be powered through this pin if the attached serial device provides such power on pin 9.
