Serial cable pinout
Silversurfer and VarIO use the same serial cable. Please note that there are two different industry-standards that were commonly used. Silversurfer and VarIO uses one of these standards. If you are fine with the included 25-pin serial port, we recommend to use exactly that included 25-pin cable. If you want to use a 9-pin serial port with your VarIO or Silversurfer, please make sure that it uses the correct pinout. The following pictures show how to identify the right cable for use with Silversurfer and VarIO:
wrong pinout for DB9 connector
