The USB- SERIAL adaptor goes into your computer (USB END TO USB PORT ON COMPUTER), serial end you plug your null modem cable into and the other end of the null modem cable into the back of your box.


HiTeck did a nice job here of explaining:

NULL MODEM is 9 pin female to female. Your monitor lead is 15 pins.

You need a NULL MODEM cable, and only a NULL MODEM cable will do, serial cables look the same but are wired differently.
