4. Installation and Configuration

This section describes issues that should be considered when the

PollCat III has been installed and configured as described in the

User's Guide, but will still not function properly.

4.1.

Installation Hints

4.1.1.

PBX Interface

In order to correctly install the PollCat III, it is important to

understand the PBX interface. If the PollCat III has not been

properly adapted to the PBX interface, call records will not be

received, or may appear garbled or incomplete.
If call records appear garbled or incomplete, make certain that

communication parameters for the PollCat III PBX Port(s) match

those for the PBX (Section 4.2.1).
If the PBX LED on the PollCat III front panel does not blink when

call records are sent from the PBX system, this is an indication

that the PollCat III is

not

receiving call records. First, make

certain that all cables are firmly connected, then check to

determine that cables are appropriate for the PBX interface.

Check the following:

·

Connector:

DB-25 or DB-9?

·

Gender:

Male or Female?

·

Transmit Pin:

Which pin is used to transmit data?

·

Handshake Requirements:

Does the PBX require a high

handshake signal in order to release data?

·

Pin Assignment:

Which pin must be held high in order to

release data ... Pin 5 or Pin 20?

These facts can be determined by referring to your PBX User's

Guide, or by testing the interface with a Breakout Box or

Voltmeter as described in this section. In many cases, the PBX

will use a standard DTE interface, transmit data on pin 2, and will

require a high handshake level on pin 5 or 20 in order to

release data.
