Connecting the Display to a PC
A PC running a purchased, Windows™-based contact
management software application or asynchronous
communications software can be used to capture Caller ID
information from a MERLIN Identifier Display. The MERLIN
Identifier Displays come with a modular cord and an RJ11-to-DB9
adapter. If your PC’s serial port requires a DB25 connection, you
must purchase a DB9-to-DB25 adapter.
To connect a PC to a MERLIN Identifier Display, refer to Figure 6
