I thought someone listed a recommended pinout for the rj45/db adapters to use between a pc and the kxtd and tvs several years ago on this list. there was even someone selling kits. I just spent 2 hours searching the archives and couldn't find it.
Anyone remember it and can post it? even Michaels /before page doesn't show it anymore. i tasked a tech to build a bunch of these and would like to stick to any informal standard. i was looking at the cisco and adtran admin connectors, but they only need four pins. i don't need the db9 to db25 pin out, have that down solid ;-) i'm tending toward just using 2 to 2 thru 8 to 8 and then use 1 for 20 on the rj45 plug. could dig up the old dec plug pinout, it was unique in that pin 3 and 4 (of 6) was "ground". the short made sure accidentally plugging into phone jack couldn't put 48 vdc on the rs232 terminal pns. pin 2 and 5 were rx /tx, 1 and 6 were dsr/dtr, cable was crimped 1 to 1. but crimping 1 to 6 (flip one end of cable over, like regular line cord) made a crossover cable to test two terminals back/to/back. might be a good idea, put cts/rts on pin 1 and 8 of an 8 pin rj45, hey i like it. thanks for the help! -larry / dallas _________________________________________________________________ KX-T Mailing list --- http://kxthelp.com/ Subscription changes: http://kxthelp.com/mailman/listinfo/kxt
