atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums Other TDM Phone Systems Executone-Isoetec Telephones & Systems IDS Port 99 question

I've got the serial cable to service panel hardwire, I have it laid out as follow:
MDF (port1) --------------- DB9
green/red --------------- 3 (brown)
blue/red -------------- 2 (black)
orange/red ---------------- 5 (orange)
yellow/blue -------------- 4 (red)

I also tried
MDF (port2) ---------------- DB9
green/yellow ------------- 3 (brown)
blue/yellow ----------- 2 (black)
slate/red ----------------- 5 (orange)
yellow/green ---------------- 4 (red)

I tried plugging into both com1 and com2 on the PC also and neither are affected. Is the MDF to DB9 correct?

JJ, I believe barster tried to have the user transfer him both from a M64 and a M160 but will try later in the am. Is there any other sure fire way to determine if the ACPU is bad.

Transfer to 99 or 9# still wants to get me to an ouside line as to the phone system modem which is set to yes (xfer to modem) on the "M" screen. Under the "B" screen I setup line 1 as type 250 and called the main #, it automatically did the handshake and kicked me into the IDS system so the modem is good.

Any other suggestions of things I can look at?

If you get outside dialtone when transferring to modem, it is because your system is configured for dial 9 trunk access in M screen. If this is the case, you can ONLY transfer a caller to modem via the Integrated Operator Terminal (if you have one) by using 2nd Trans + 99. If you don't have IOT, then remote access is via line type 250

With the IDS 108, how do I use this transfer 99 to work with Procomm after I've ask to be transfered via voice telephone??
Do I need to use a Desktop and make the call with the phone port? what do I do next with Procomm after I've bee tranfered. Is it possible to do with a Laptop with only a modem port?

If you are being transfered into the system, from an outside line with a POT and Procomm is up and running in Modem Command Mode (with the correct port settings), you can use standard AT commands to start the session when you hear the IDS modem answer. ATX3D will cause the modem in your PC to go off hook and start the recognition sequence. Yes you can use just your laptop with only a modem - timing is everything.

Thanks Cos for that info. that worked!
On the Medley Executone 64, does it have a modem port for remote programming? and is it similar to the IDS 108?

The only thing the Medley and the IDS platform have in common are the M series phones.

That is partially true...You can do System programing on the Medley from the Serial port or via the built in Modem IF it has 7.0 or greater Software installed.

It's faster and easier to program a medley through a phone. Using a pc to program it is like killing a mosquito by dropping a house on it.

as mforrence said the dial 9 access to trunks is call alternate dail if that is set to yes you can not use tr/con from a standard phone.
