Hi Brian,

Thanks for giving me a little prodding.

I am still confused as to the correct wiring:I have the orginal manuals
along with a service bulletin that is dated 1/15/1990.

They ALL list ground as pin-17 [M7000 J2] not pin-12 as some have
mentioned; in fact pin-12 on the schematic is NU (not used).

If I only use the serial 9-pin connector from my laptop, the wiring is:

PC M7000 J2
recive data 2 5
Xmtr Data 3 4
DTR 4 6
Signal GND 5 17
DSR 6
RTS 7
CTS 8


NOTE: tie 7 to 8
tie 6 to 4
ALL at the PC 9-pin connector



Now Softwa

WIN98 OS running Hyperterm pgm
baud - 2400
bits 8
stop 2
pol --
handshake hardware
modem KTerm


The program gets stuck when I start to receive (ask for a file)


If I use the above except M7Kterm

I install the pgm in a new folder

F10 to set new parameters (responds slow after key stroke?)
F1 start nothing on screen
L opens log file, however after I close it and open the log file; the
file is emply!!!


Have tried two seperate laptops with same results!!!

Do I have to be careful with the setting in the M-7000 menu?

If you have the time this might be handled better offline (landline or
E-Mail). I live in the Boston area.

Then I could post the final results to the group.

Best Regards,

// John

My M-7000 'Gpin-17etting Started' manual states that the main 'Owner's' manual
pinout is in error and that the correct pinout is as follows

function M-7000 J2 computer 25 pin
computer 9 pin
signal to M-700 4 2

Can you folks verify the correct cable connections between a PC serial
port 9-pin or 25-pin and the J2 accessory connector on the rear of the
Universal M-7000 Decoder.
