Centracom BKN6107A Cable

Post by scbe9abx »

Does anyone know the pinout for the BKN6107A Cable that is used between the BLN6755A and computer? It is used to program the Operator Interface module on a Centracom Console

Interconnection from PC serial ports to the CCII CEB RS232 card are diagrammed in the "Reference Information" [ Part VII] section of the CCII Field PROM programming Software Manual.

If you have not programmed this console before, be sure you determine what type chips are installed on the TOMI cards.

Early Series II Plus consoles have 27128 EPROM chips which must be programmed on an external device such as a PromPro 8X. Later systems have EEPROM chips which can be programmed by direct connection to the CEB.

I actually did check the chips and they are ok. I also have the RS232 interface board. WHat I dont have is the cable and if I could find a pinout of the cable I thought I could make one. What I need is the cable pinout between the RS232 board and the computer. I did look up the part number on MOL but nothing came back. It is either discontinued or not listed.

If you would have a pinout of the cable it would be very appreciated.

By the way that idea you had about the crossbusy was a good thought however once I crossbusyed the 2 Chans The console will not allow you to select both page's. It was worth a try. (ref to the other forum)
I started a new thread on the cable because I just figured it was more appropiate. Hope I did the right thing.

If you can't find your RSS manual [which shows the cable pinout] you should order one - you don't want to be programming the console without it anyway and it's only 25 bucks.
