must be connected to the GND of the modem or computer. Note that this
type of connection does not provide electrical isolation between the
module and the connected device.
If a connection is made between the KF2 and an RS-422-A compatible
device, you can mount the device and the module up to 4,000 cable-feet
apart.
Direct Connection to a Computer
To connect the module directly to a computer, you can construct your own
cable according to the wiring diagram in Figure 3.6.A. This cable plugs
into the COMPUTER ASYNCHRONOUS connector on the module and
the RS-232-C or RS-422-A compatible connector on the computer
(Figure 3.6.A). Connect the cable shield at one end only. Be sure that the
cable length does not exceed the RS-232-C limit of 50 feet or the
RS-422-A limit of 4,000 feet.
