TTL level serial port (J10):

 1 - +3v
 2 - RX
 3 - TX
 4 - GND

It’s important to know that you need a TTL level shifter in order to utilize this port. You can NOT directly connect this port to your PC’s RS232 port.

The MSS and MSS+ uses the same hardware, the MSS+ just comes with a newer firmware version (2.4.x insted of 1.2.x) and is available with larger harddrives (like 500GB)
