UPDATE: Still not working, the problem appears to be serial port configuration.

Have now confirmed RS232 data is coming out of the CTX670 BSIS Port 1 (top port), but I can't read the SMDR records with Hyperterminal I see output, but it's showing as garbage (random junk) on the terminal screen. I suspect it's serial settings, but I can get it to work.

Same thing is happening both at the customer site and with another CTX670 I have here in the shop. From that, I conclude that I must be doing something wrong, but what?

Also: My PPTC-9 and cable are confirmed good. I even get the data into the PC, my terminal programs (Hyperterm, Putty, SecureCRT) just show gargage characters, as if the speed or parity are set wrong. My serial port is known good, I use it for router and Stratagy setup all the time.

Have tried default 9600-7-Odd-1 and also 1200-8-N-1 as well as several serial configs. Always see garbage. Is there some kind of trick or special setting on the CTX670 setup, beyond the setup in Command 804 (WinAmin System-->I/O Devices Menus)
