The
MDR-2000
is designed to connect directly to a
PBX
through use
of
the
MDR-2000
PBX
port,
and directly to a
modem
using the
MDR-2000
modem
port. For this reason the
PBX
port
is wired
as a serial terminal (
DTE
) and the
modem
port as a
modem
(DCE). The following paragraphs
describe
the
cabling required for the two ports under
diff
erent circumstances.
The
cable
from
the
PBX
to the
MDR-2000
is provided by the local telephone equipment supplier.
The
connector
made
available for use
on
the
MDR-2000
must be a male
DB25-P
EIA connector
with pins labeled 1 through 25. This is the
most
commonly used connector configuration for EIA
RS232-C
interfaces.
The
connector pins
must
be wired as follows:

.
The
MDR-2000
modem
port
must
be connected either to the host computer system
or
a

.
The
cable provided with the
MDR-2000
is a null
modem
configuration
which
is
used
for the
modem
to
MDR-2000
connection.
The
cable supplied has DB25-P connectors at
each
