That is just plain wrong.
If there is a "klinik" (another DB25 port, or if it has DB25's for
user terminals (check if there is a board connected on the able)
measure from pin 7 to pin 7 in another connector.
Pin 7 is NCL on all the serial breakouts I have.
Huh? Pin 7 on a DB25 RS-232 is signal ground. It is one of the three pints you actually
need. The other two being pin 2&3. No other pin is required, but 2,3,7 are the ones
*absolutely* required.
And for a null modem cable, you connect:
2-3
3-2
7-7
