sundance-communications.com/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Samsung Telephones & Systems Will this cable work for TAPI/PCMMC/SMDR output?

I am going to copy and paste the description of a cable I was considering purchasing for TAPI server interface, SMDR output, PCMMC connection. Please let me know if this is the correct cable.

Appearently a normal serial cable will not connect into the system.

"
Null Modem serial cables allow two DTE or DCE devices to communicate with no conflict in data transmission. Cable Connection standard null modem cables use the modem-to-terminal pin out that supports both hardware and software handshaking. Transmit and receive signals are crossed to ensure proper data transmission. These high-quality Null Modem cables can deliver the data quickly and reliably over short distances. DB 9 Male to DB 9 Female

Pin-out: 1,6-4 , 3-2, 2-3, 7-8, 8-7, 1,6-4, 5-5, 4-1,6 , Shield-Shield

Thanks.

For programming the switch with pcmmc you need a null cable that is male to female.
To programm the SVMi with Hyperteminal you need a straight through cable that is female to female.
Most industry ready cables are (null - female to female) and (straight through - male to female)
Just opposite of what you need.
I use a null female/female with a genger changer on one end for pcmmc making it a null male to female. For voice-mail a null adapter on the same cable instead of the gender changer will give you what you need.

Thank you for the response but I'm still a little confused. You said:

1. I need a "straight through cable that is female to female" for PCMMC.

2. "I use a null female/female with a genger changer on one end for pcmmc"

So is it a straight through Female/female or a Null female/female with genger changer on one end(so I guess Female/Male null cable) ?

I'm assuming the PCMMC and TAPI both need the same type of cable?

Please let me know if you can clear things up a little?

Thanks.

He is jsut saying instead of buying two cables, you can buy a straight through, F/F serial cable. You use that cable for the programming for the system. Then, when you need to program the voicemail system you slap on the null F/F gender changer on the end of that cable.

He said for PCMMC programming.

1. I need a straight through F/F cable for PCMMC
2. He uses a Null f/F cable for PCMMC.

So I'm thinking.

Straight through vs Null cable?

Does a gender changer on one end just change it from a male/female male/female or does it change it from a Null/straight through straight through/null cable.

This is kind of confusing.

There is a null modem adapter that they sell that will change genders as well as make it as a null modem adapter

I apologize to SooprmanX and Jim Martin for all the confusion. :confused:
I corrected my post because after I reread it I was confused
I hope the correction helps.

I reread your post after the correcting.

Must better

Short answer:

PCMMC requires

1. Null Male/female cable 9-pin cable.

This is my understanding.

Now for my second question if you don't mind.

What type of cable is needed for TAPI interface?
I am not sure if anyone here uses that or if you can use a CAT-5 cable into your LAN to run this?

Maybe this should be another post?

Thanks.

I will try to get that answer tomorrow when my Samsung tech is in the office. But I think it is a lan cable
Also, you are correct on your understanding of the programming cable. I have more than one type and configuration of cable because the serial connector on each Samsung product is in a diferent location and some are hard to fit all that hardware into such as the DS16.

I am sorry if the answer is in front of me but I am not seeing, it's late....

I have used the Ethernet port or whatever you want to call it on the iDCS500 before for programming and this is how I got it to work......If you are directly connecting a computer to it then you need to use a cross over cable. You will need to program the system to have an IP address in MMC 830. Then you will need to statically assign your computer to be in the same subnet as the system. Then you will open OfficeServ and fill in the correct information and you are good to go.

If you connect the system to your lan then I believe it is a straight through cable that you need. Then, do the same thing, assign the system a static IP address and then you are good to go.

This is working with the iDCS500, I have no tried with other systems but I assume they are more or less along the same lines.
