Chapter 2 Serial Interface Capabilities About the RS-232C Serial Port(s) About the RS-232C Serial Port(s) The 58503B has only a rear-panel (PORT 1) RS-232C serial interface port. The 59551A has separate rear-panel (PORT 1) and front-panel (PORT 2) RS-232C serial interface ports. The rear-panel (PORT 1) RS-232C serial interface port is the only port which can be used to upgrade the Receiver firmware; therefore, it is referred to as the PRIMARY port. The 59551A’s front-panel (PORT 2) RS-232
