If your keyboard only has two MIDI sockets (IN and OUT/THRU), make sure its THRU function is turned off. At this point, it looks as if we have a loop, so it is important that you use MIDI IN and OUT, not IN and THRU. When you want to connect a sequencer or computer, connect the MIDI OUT from the MIDI keyboard to the MIDI IN of the computer or sequencer, then connect the MIDI OUT of the computer or sequencer to the MIDI IN on the keyboard. When you do this, the first keyboard is sometimes referred to as the "master" and the second, the "slave". This allows you to play on the first keyboard and whatever you play will also play on the second keyboard. In either case, connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT on the first keyboard to the MIDI IN on the second keyboard or the sound module. Possibly the simplest MIDI setup you can have is to connect two devices together, such as two keyboards, or a keyboard and a sound module. It is best to switch off your MIDI equipment before you make MIDI connections.
Do not use regular DIN cables as the wiring is different.
When you make MIDI connections, make sure you use proper MIDI cables. As usual, outputs are connected to inputs. When you make MIDI connections, you generally connect a MIDI output (OUT or THRU) to a MIDI IN. MIDI THRU simply retransmits whatever MIDI data is received at MIDI IN.
