RS232 Ports
On the back of your IBM compatible computer you will find various connection ports.
Generally there are 2 COM ports and one printer port.
COM ports are also called RS-232 or Serial ports, they are male and have 25 or 9 pins.
The printer port is 25 pin and female and is also called the parallel port. It is used for the
printer or the tape punch, not for RS-232.
If you have only 1 COM port you will need to get a switch box or install an additional
COM port. You will need one for your mouse and one or more for your RS-232 cable.
The mouse normally goes on COM port 1, the cable going to your C.N.C. controller
goes on COM port 2. If you have more than one C.N.C. machine tool, you would
normally use a switch box to switch the various machines.
Be careful not to plug into the parallel (printer) port which has the 25 pin female. This
could do some damage to your computer or to the C.N.C. control, punch or reader, due
to voltages being present. For proper operation of RS232 the cables need to be
correctly connected and should be done by someone experienced in RS-232
cable connection.

"There are many short cuts with BobCAD software that decrease your programming
time as you become familiar with the system. When we purchased the system, we did
not know what a bargain BobCAD was in price when you compare it to other CAD-CAM
systems. If you are thinking about a CAD-CAM system, make it easy on yourself. Look
into BobCAD. It's that easy!"
