Installing the TAPI Adapter
The Panasonic TAPI Adapter connects to the PC via an RS232 cable (included).
This cable has a female DB9 connector on each end. A DB9-to-DB25 connector
(not supplied) may also be required for connection to the PC.
1. Connect one end of the RS232 cable to an available serial (Com) port on
the PC.
2. Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the TAPI Adapter as shown in
the following illustration.
3. Connect the phone line to the Adapter, then the DBS line.
Note:
Be sure to attach the phone line first before connecting the DBS line.
Connecting the DBS line before the phone line may result in operational
errors. Also be sure the lines are plugged into the appropriate receptacles.
If desired, you can also use the included hook and loop fastener strip to affix the
TAPI Adapter to a convenient surface such as a desktop, PC cabinet, or wall.
