null modem
null modem (communications, hardware)A cable, especially an EIA-232cable, for connecting serial ports on two computers directly,rather than via modems. Since, according to thespecification, both computers should transmit on pin three oftheir EIA-232 connectors and receive on pin two, a null modemcable needs to connect one computer's pin two to the other'spin three and vice versa. It also needs to have maleconnectors at both ends (again, according to thespecification). |
