Can the DB9 to RJ45 serial adapter and cable be used on a laptop that uses a USB to DB9 srial adapter?

Yes it can.

I tried it and I keep getting a message about it already being in use and then a time out message when I close that window. The S1 switches are set right and no one is at the first extension.

Are you sure the USB adapter is working? I have used these in the past and found that the drivers can be tricky to get right. Try opening the com port via Hyperterminal.

Yes the USB does work. I have used it on other systems.

Is your programmer version compatible with the phone system's software version?

The Iwatsu programmer can be set to determine valid COM port numbers on start up, and will show them all in a drop-down window. Try turning that feature off in the options tab. Restart the programmer,then go to System Manager from the Control Panel and verify the COM port number your USB adapter is using; select that COM port number on the Iwatsu Programmer. Sometimes, a PC with multiple USB ports will assign a COM port number to a particular USB port. If you happen to use a different port the next time you use the adapter, your PC may have assigned a different COM port number.

Also, are you using the Iwatsu proprietary DB9/RJ adapter or a generic one? Genereics won't work for this application.

Hope this helps.
