I am not sure about that. Unless that device can sense the correct voltage levels and adjust itself I guess it is not compatible (as it says on the link it is usable with normal PC rs232...)

The protocol on N9 serial bus is rs232 but the physical layer is 2.8V lv-TTL which is not compatible with "old-style" PC serial ports.
I don't recommend hooking up anything before you are sure, or you might damage your device.
