Trying to wire up a xtl5000 consolette to our existing centracom gold elite

Have a Un-used bim card, Acim card and aux i/o card

from reading ht emanual provided to me I found out that i need a straight thru cable from accy 1 on the xtl5000 to the diu connector on the acim board,

Then from the acim board to the aux i/o board with the ribbon cable.

My question where does the aux i/o card go above the acim or above the bim


then i assume from accy connector 2 i go to the ceb punch block to pick up audio ???


any help greatly appreciated

AUX II goes above the BIM that will be handling the audio. You are correct on the ACCY 2 to Punchblock. Run your Line1/Line2 from the Consolette to the appropriate pairs on the punchblock for TX Audio and RX audio.

It's pretty much the same situation as a Quantar, only instead of plugging your DIU into the ACIM, you're plugging in the Consolette. Then your 4-wire analog audio goes from the consolette over to the punch block, and you're set.

I like to build up an RJ45 to DB-25F adapter hood that's pinned out properly for the ACCY 2with TX audio to the consolette on pins 4&5 and RX audio from the consolette on pins 3&6, so everything is a nice RJ-45 interface to the back of the consolette's ACCY 2 connector.

Sorry to resurrect a 10 year old post, but I am trying this same config.

I have audio on my TX+ and TX-, but I'm not keying the radio when I try to transmit. Do I need to run PTT wires? or with 4 wire config, should the radio know I'm transmitting?

It appears from this post, you're only running 4 wires, TX/RX +/-.

Any help on that?
