Location: San Diego, Ca Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Toshiba Strata 424 and Stratagy vmail I am a newby to the Toshiba--I was moving a customers PC that was used for DK Administration and Voicemail Admin (two cables that were Cat5. From the wall was a cable that went straight to the PC and had a DB9 on the end---the other cable was a Cat5 jack and a patch cord with one end terminated as a RJ45 and the other as a DB9. I spliced the cable and extended another 100 feet and terminated to two modular jacks, 568b style. I tried the patch cable with the rj45 and db9 and nothing. Long story short--both cables I removed the DB9 on the PC end and replaced them with an 45/DB9 connector. Since I could not get a connection--I went to the modem and pulled out the 6 pin connector---this was layed out as such: pin1 pin2 pin3 pin4 pin5 pin6 Bl/W Bl Or/W o G/W G So I figured that pins 3 and 4 were the communication Trans and Rec --pulled off the connector, put on a 4 pin connector and used the g/w g on pins 1 and 4 and bl b/w on pins 2 and 3---saw continuity on my toner but still no connection. Then someone suggested to roll the blue and blue white---that didnt work---now I got access to a manual and the book says to use a PPTC 9 Pin connector with a 6 conductor standard telephone plug. At this point ai guess I need to step back and take a deep breath--but how shoud the pins be on a 6 conductor plug using cat5 cable and then how should it be pinned on the db9? Help ![]() | ||||||||

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | The cable they used is just a null modem cable. Sounds like someone made up their own cable end to end using cat 5. No big deal. Search the internet for null modem wiring configs. There is no wiring standard for this since some tech made their own. Wire your cat5 straight through (including cords) meter conductors end to end verifying a straight through config end to end. Once that is done- wire your db9's for a null modem. Should work. | ||||||||
