The unit connects to a serial port on your computer. Attach the supplied 9 pin serial cable between the unit and a serial port that is not used by any other device. Since serial ports can be either 9 or 25 pins, a 9 to 25 pin adapter may be required and can be purchased at any computer or local Radio Shack store (Catalog # 26-287A). Plug the power supply into the unit.
You can use any modem communications program to establish a connection with the unit. Typical examples are “Procomm”, “Crosstalk”, or “Hyperterminal” for Windows. For detailed instructions on connecting with Windows “Hyperterminal” refer to Computer Communication Problems.
Connect power to the unit. The power light should remain on. (At least 1 line light may also be on if a “live” telephone line is connected and is not in use).
Launch your communications program.
Set up the program to “Direct Connect” to the COMM number of the serial port to which the unit is connected.
In the terminal screen, type a capital “V” (Shift-v).
The unit should respond: V1.x ECXUDASoBKT L=01 00/00 00:00:nn. If it does not respond see Computer Communication Problems.
Set the units setup toggles: E,C,X,U,D,A,S,O,B,K,T by simply typing the upper or lower case letter required. For an explanation of toggles, see page 9.
Connect a phone line to the unit. A discussion of telephone connections is on page 28.
Set your program to capture the phone call information to a text file. See page 36.
Make test calls and make sure that data is seen on the screen.
