[edit] How to connect the connectors

[edit] Null-modem Cable

This cable will allow you to hook the MiniDIN8 port directly up to a standard RS-232 port on another computer.

From MiniDin8 Pin --> To DB9 Pin DB25 Pin
DTR Data Terminal Ready Pin 1 --> DSR Data Set Ready Pin 6 Pin 6
CTS Clear To Send Pin 2 --> RTS Request To Send Pin 7 Pin 4
TD Transmit Data Pin 3 --> RD Receive Data Pin 2 Pin 3
SG Signal Ground Pins 4 & 8 --> SG Signal Ground Pin 5 Pin 7
RD Receive Data Pin 5 --> TD Transmit Data Pin 3 Pin 2
RTS Request To Send Pin 6 --> CTS Clear To Send Pin 8 Pin 5
DCD Data Carrier Detect Pin 7 --> DTR Data Terminal Ready Pin 4 Pin 20
Shield --> - Protective Ground - Pin 1

It it might be needed to have a connection between pin 20 and pin 8 on the Sub-D 25 connector to have your terminal do a carrier detect. SGI is using the same pin-pout for it's 8-pin mini-DIN connectors as Apple for it's machines. Therefor cables and adapters suitable for use with Apple system may be used.

[edit] Straight-Thru Cable

This cable will allow you to hook the MiniDIN8 port into an RS-232 device such as a modem.

From MiniDin8 Pin --> To DB9 Pin DB25 Pin
DTR Data Terminal Ready Pin 1 --> DTR Data Terminal Ready Pin 4 Pin 20
CTS Clear To Send Pin 2 --> CTS Clear To Send Pin 8 Pin 5
TD Transmit Data Pin 3 --> TD Transmit Data Pin 3 Pin 2
SG Signal Ground Pins 4 & 8 --> SG Signal Ground Pin 5 Pin 7
RD Receive Data Pin 5 --> RD Receive Data Pin 2 Pin 3
RTS Request To Send Pin 6 --> RTS Request To Send Pin 7 Pin 4
DCD Data Carrier Detect Pin 7 --> DCD Data Carrier Detect Pin 1 Pin 8
Shield --> - Protective Ground - Pin 1
