E-EQ-MX6RG-E-ARC MX6 Reference Guide
RS-232 Serial Port
Serial connection is made through an RS-232 Port designated as COM port 1. The connector is a
custom, industrial 17-pin male connector.
When seated in powered docking cradles, the MX6 receives power through this connection and
the main battery is charged. If the docking cradle is connected to a desktop / laptop computer, this
connector also transmits data.
The connection to the peripheral can be RS-232 or USB. The maximum RS-232 speed is 115kbps
with seven baud rate settings. USB communication runs at 12 Mbps. This port also provides
power out (to peripheral devices with special cable) at 500mA at 5V.
