1. PREFACE Here are several diagrams and tables explaining parallel port, serial port and null-modem configurations, which are mostly available on Internet. I was forced to provide this information on the Internet by myself when my search began for getting Laplink Cable or Null Modem Cable to transfer data from one Win95 PC to another Win95 PC in Sept-97. I bought the Laplink cable in the market and that served my purpose as I successfully transferred data from "HOST" to "GUEST" computer with Laplink. But also I was bit worried with the cost of LAPLINK cables available in the market as I purchased it at least thrice the cost of its material cost. Let's discuss this in Indian Rupees. I purchased Laplink cable at Rs.120/- in the market. But the material cost I calculated was only Rs.50/- if we prepare this at home if you have a logically working BRAIN and a little bit knowledge of soldering wires, which most of us do while repairing toys or portable radios. So I did opened the D-25 Female pins of my Laplink cable and studied the colour combinations of wires and prepared the following PINOUT Chart for those who want to make LAPLINK Cable at home. (THIS IS JUST AN INFO PAGE, BUT PLEASE USE THIS INFO AT YOUR OWN RISK.) Back to INDEX | Go top .COM, .NET, .ORG now only at $ 9.99 per year 2. BASIC CONCEPTS OF COMPUTER CABLING A PARALLEL port can consist of only 25 pin port adapter called a DB-25 and a serial port can consist of either a 25 pin port adapter called a DB-25 or 9 pin adapter called a DB-9 port adapter. Whether the port is a 9 pin or 25 pin it can accomplish all of the same tasks that serial port communications have been designed for. Each adapter can be a male type
connector with pins or a female type adapter with tiny holes.
And a COM port on the back of a computer is male for the serial ports but it may not necessarily be. Below are diagrams of a DB-25 and DB-9.

(Each diagram on this page is the view you see when you look into the end of the cable from the outside of the cable.) The "o" characters represent
holes, the "." characters represent pins.
4. IBM DB-25 and DB-9 numbering scheme. (Pin numbers) Each pin has a number assigned to it. When connecting null modem, for example, it is important to know these numbers in order to select the correct cables, or when making your own cables.

may use these chart for transmission of Data via Serial
Port.
IMP. NOTE : In DB-25 serial cable
following numbered pins are NOT USED. They are 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24 and 25. IMP. NOTE : In DB-25 serial cable
following numbered pins are NOT USED. They are 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24 and 25. 6A. IBM Parallel port Pin Descriptions (Wire name) for each pin number. Hi there, as far as I am concerned it is very difficult to make your own printer cable and anyways they are cheap and easy to find in a store down there on the street. REMEMBER I AM NOT ANY TECHNO-WIZARD. So don't ask me details of each pins. You can email your problems regarding this section to the author of the chart mentioned below. But, I am giving the collection of data transmission of most common cables for everybody's reference. Following is the chart for transmission of Data via Parallel Port.

Parallel Port Laplink Cable Pinouts Laplink cable is used to link two PCs with MSDOS 6.0 or later, very effectively by using INTERSVR.EXE (on Host) and INTERLNK.EXE (on GUEST) PCs. But it can also be used to data-transfer at faster speed with DCC Feature of Win9x/Me/2000. If you are seeking to buy a Parallel port Laplink cable, or trying to make your own cable, you should know what pins need to be switched in order to make it. Below is a chart of what pins go to what on the other end. Only 18 pins are used in a Laplink Cable, therefore I will only show those eighteen here. To make this cable we need
* = In my cable one wire was attached to the metal body of the Male pins on both sides. Total 18 wired cable is necessary for this cable including one wire for Body of the pin too. SPEED: Parallel port Laplink cable is little faster than Serial port Cable because of more numbers of cores of wires used in Parallel port cable (25 pin) than Serial port Cable (9 pins). The expected speed is 2000kbytes/second but it is extremely dependent on the different quality chipset structure of Parallel Ports on different makes of the Motherboards. Some even reported me the lowest speed of 60kb/sec even though all other settings are correct. Its recommended that you setup LPT1 mode as only "ECP/EPP" or "ECP" mode in bios to get better speed, and not the "Normal" (4bit/8bit) modes. The latest tests done by me on modern motherboard proved that serial port transfers are equal or little slower than parallel ports. Back to INDEX | Go top .COM, .NET, .ORG now only at $ 9.99 per year

For making Null modem cable following is a chart of pinouts. Only 8 pins are used in a null modem, though there are 25 pins on DB-25 socket. You need 8 or 9-wired cable with two DB-25-Female pin socket or DB-9-Female pin socket or one of both. IMPORTANT : Both pin sockets must be of FEMALE type. This may not be applicable on some machines, so please check your serial ports of both the machines as there must be MALE pins at back of your both computers.
Now why this cable is called null modem without using the modem?by grimace :- That's good question. But if you think a little bit, you will get an answer that as we don't use modem and use modem-like connection on two computers staying together, so we call it Null-Modem Connection. Most important is, as you may know that modem have its own data-transmission method and special combination of the data input-output is required to be configured to each pin of the modem cable so the special modem to computer cable is used. But if you give more attention on CHART#11 and CHART#12 of my page you will get an idea that how actual the DATA-TRANSMISSION takes place. Now if we want to play multiplayer game from remote areas we need to connect systems with MODEMS as follows... MODEM GAME PLAY In above (1st) diagram '######' is the cable which connects the Computer to MODEM. The one which comes with modem. NULL MODEM GAME PLAY In this (2nd) diagram '===========' resembles the null modem cable emulating the 1st transmission. Now in above method the Null modem Cable's pinouts are adjusted in such a way that it emulates the modem connection to the same DATA-TRANSMISSION as MODEM to Computer connection requires. See chart#9 and #10. Therefore it is called Null-Modem cable. Hope I could explain you the whole saga. <phew> Back to INDEX | Go top .INFO, .BIZ now only at $ 10.99 per year 9. IBM Normal-Modem Cable pinouts. (DB-25 to DB-25) and (DB-25 to DB-9). IMPORTANT : Both pin sockets must be of DIFFERENT type. This means that for modem-side of cable we need to use MALE type of DB-25 pin. And on CPU side of cable we need to use FEMALE type of DB-25 or DB-9 pin.
* Pinbody is OPTIONAL. We easily get cable with 9-wires in it, but not 10 then Pinbody can be attached with shielded wire. The one which I examined from a reputed company was having body of pins connected with shielded wire (let's assume earthing line.)

The pin-configuration of internal serial cables (the one that connects from the motherboard to the case) are different for different motherboards, which come in two types. One with straight pins as in old mobos like 286/386/486. And another is twisted style cable like in latest Pentiums. The MALE DB9 pin is connected to serial port on motherboard with 9 wired cable in following two types. Both Serial ports on motherboard have 10 wires but only 9 of them to connect to MALE DB9 Serial Pins. Please do not connect 10th core anywhere.
The MALE DB-25 pin is connected to serial port on motherboard with 9 wired cable (Yes, 9-wired cable) in following two types. Both Serial ports on motherboard have 10 wires to connect to MALE DB25 Serial Pins as follows. Take it.
NOTE: The 10th Core Wire from motherboard is an Optional line which can be connected to pin 1 of DB25 with no harm. IMP: Above are the exact pinouts of the all four types of working serial ports with me for IBM Machines. Believe me, they should work. Please see Chart#11 and Chart#12 in Section 5 of this page for pin-Descriptions of DB9 and DB25 Serial ports.
