Hi all;
I have seen several posts and questions concerning the proper cable to connect a NX-8E to a cat 5 and back to a DB-9 at the computer. I always refer to the attached document (from Worthington Dist.) for reference.
The connection is like this;
Ribbon cable, with red stripe to the Caddx board edge (yes it fits backwards!!) ---> DB9F to RJ45 Modular Adaptor ---> Cat5e Cable ---> DB9F to RJ45 Modular Adaptor ---> Serial Port
My adaptor source is http://www.cablestogo.com/
You have 2 options when making up the adaptors - Straight through (pins 2,3,5) or Null Modem (pins 2-3, 3-2, 5). If you do the Null configuration, NO NULL MODEM ADAPTOR is required. With the straight through - you MUST use an adaptor.
Set up all panel locations as noted in the instructions above and you should have no issues.
See the attached PDF.
Hope this helps those looking to make the connection between HS and Caddx.
