Hi guys and gals,
I'm trying to figure out how I can connect my 2514 serial port to an external 56K modem. I've found a few cables, which convert DB60/DB25. If I'm not mistaken, the DB25 will be the DCE and the DB60 will be the DTE. Herein lies the question, can I use a DB25/DB9 configuration to get the RS232 small enough for a USR 56K modem and it work? Disregarding the IOS commands, I can figure those out, but will the hardware work, providing I setup the config right? Can someone please suggest a modem, maybe that has a DB25 or suggest the right cable in order to make the adaption? I do already have a DCE/DTE cable if there is a plug-on adapter that would do it.
Here are the cables that I have found closest to what I need, I think...
CAB-232FC= part#72-0794-01 - FEM DCE RS-232 CAB 10 FT
or
EIA-530 serial cable
I'm not in a position right now, to just give it a try, without some solid feedback that it will work. Otherwise I would just order stuff to try anything.
Thanks a lot,
