Lucent Partnet SMDR pinout

[Michael Bertrand]

I would like to connect the SMDR port to a computer with some sort of
terminal program running, but I can't figure out the pinout needed for
the RJ-?? (Partner) to DB-9 or DB-25 (computer). I have setup the
terminal program to the right settings 1200-8 N 2 but nothing is
comming out.

Any help is appreciated,
Michael Bertrand

Hi. I'm doing exactly this. I ended up ordering an adapter widget from
Lucent. Mine doesn't have a part number on it, but my Partner manual refers
to it as a "355A Adapter". It has some electronics inside, but not much.
Also, I think you will want one stop bit, not two, for the port settings.

My only frustration with the arrangement is that for incoming calls it
reports the caller ID phone number but not name.

Here is the pinout of a 355A/AF Type Adapter from a Lucent Training
Publication. Unfortunatly, no values are given for the resistors or
diodes. (view schematic with monospaced font)

Description:

355-Type: These adapters are equipped with an eight-position
modular jack and a 25-pin EIA connector with diode and resistor
protective circuitry. The protective circuits prevent standard
battery power from damaging terminal interface units (such as
your computer). The 355A and 355AF adapters provide protection
for 3 circuits and are intended for use with asynchronous terminals.
