Hi Andy,

Don is correct.

Here is a little blurb that might help.

Andy,

No TXD is TXD all the way through the path.  Yes, the DTE TXD will have
the drivers, and the DCE will have receivers, but it is TXD from end to
end.  RXD is the other way around because the DCE drives that line.
Trsnsmit and receive are named with respect to the DTE.

Find the TXD pin on the source and connect it the RXD pin on the destination. Sometimes it's easier to look with a scope than to try to understand the documentation.
