Overview of the 1203-SSS
Converter
The 1203-SSS converter provides a temporary electronic
communications interface between a personal computer with a serial
port and any single SCANport product.

protocol. This protocol is used by various software packages,
including DriveTools32™ and DriveExplorer™, to connect to
SCANport products.

Example of a 1203-SSS Converter Connecting a PC to a SCANport Product
A SCANport cable connects the converter to a SCANport product
through a SCANport port on the SCANport product. A serial cable
connects the converter to the PC through a serial port on the PC.
The 1203-SSS converter receives its power from the connected
SCANport product, so it requires no external power source.
