Chapter 3: Installation and Initial Setup If you select RS-232 mode when you configure the Modbus Hardened Serial Server, you must connect the Modbus serial network to the Modbus Hardened Serial Server via a serial cable. The LES431A is a DTE. If the Modbus network is a DTE, use a null- modem (crossover) cable. If the Modbus network is a DCE, use a straight-through cable. DTE and DCE ports are complementary; the output signals on a DTE port are inputs to a DCE port, and output signals on a DCE
