Flex 5000 and Microham Microkeyer III

I just bought a DB37-fx-5000 cable from microham.  My rig is a Flex 5000 with 2nd rx and I am running the latest PSDR from KE9NS. Am I correct  that the female com connector on the cable goes to an available com port on the COMPUTER and that I must bridge the com port used to control the radio to the physical comport on the computer using ddutil?

    I appreciate your reply. I want to use a serial port for a number of reasons. The microham cable has a db9f connector and I wish to know where it connects.

    I know that it is NOT designed to go into the flexwire connector on the back. But where IS it designed to plug. Could it be a physical serial port on the computer? If that is true, could I use ddutil to pass data to my microham devices?
