You need the cable.
The power supply powers the LCS WiFi module which communicates with the base via the 9 pin serial cable. The LCS modules then daisy chain the RS232 port so you can connect the RS232 buss to other devices.

I realize to make this app work you need the wifi module. I also see a cable with a db9 end on it and power supply. Is that cable needed to make the LCS app talk to the legacy base? Or will the LCS app talk to the legacy base with just having the wifi module?
