Welcome to the forum vendim

Well normally you use either a serial connector or more often a null modem cable you will have to check which yours uses, the problem these days is that a lot of computers produced do not have serial connectors only USB. From my experience some of the USB to serial connectors are unreliable. The diagram below is for the null modem connections

Most PC's with only USB have (or should have) a 10-way IDC female connector for adding a COM port hidden somewhere on the motherboard.

Serial ports on a bracket that cable to the IDC connector are easily available cheaply online.
