[ct-user] LOOP feature - How To?

[Peter]

The loop funcion is as follows (9 pol D-con.)

        cable        cable        cable        cable
  PC1 tx -> rx PC2 tx -> rx PC3 tx -> rx PC4 tx -> rx PC1
pin    2     3      2     3      2     3      2     3
      <--    --------     --------    ---------     ----->
             Sub D-con    Sub D-con   Sub D-con     Sub D-con

pin 5 ground

So PC1 send to PC2. PC2 rx form PC1. PC 2 send to PC3 and so on.
the last one sends to PC1

Pin 2 = tx
pin 3 = rx
pin 5 is ground
You need a 3 wire cable!
