In this case, safely and carefully omit connecting the USB-Serial adapter&#8217;s 5VDC pin.  Connect only the USB-Serial (1) ground, (2) Tx, and (3) Rx.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, using either (1) the break out +5VDC terminal on the IF2C to bring 5VDC to the Host G\/XN or (2) by connecting the VSYSIN solder jumper on the IF2C, you power the Host and system.
