dumb question G11 autoguiding

Hello,
I'll be setting up my new G11 this weekend. (many thanks to ATS)
It's going to be a nice upgrade from my trusty old CG5 which has reached its limits I think.

Quick question:
the modded TOUCAM that I was using on the CG5 had an rs232 connector which used to connect to the base of the hand control on the CG5 for autoguiding.

Do i just plug this into the autoguiding or the rs232 port of the gemini ?
I've read the manual and looked at the yahoo Losmandy group but still not sure.
I know I'll have to use lx200 commands from the lappy's guidedog (or PHD) but just not 100% sure which port I'll have to use
or is it the hancontroller port (the one above the encoder port) that I need to plug it in?

anyone with experience switching from CG5 to G11 Gemini?
thanks
frank
