Which type of controller are you trying to configure. If it is BCM-ETH, then it is just a standard null modem cable. If it is a VLX, then you have no choice but to purchase it from Alerton because it incorporates a chip. Part number is AC-2650 from memory.

[dsirdah]

do you know any online suppliers that can provide it, because i need it very urgent and our local supplier will not provide it before 5 weeks, so if you please know any place that i can buy it from . thanks in advance :)

I could only get the cable from my local supplier. I even contacted Alerton head office in Seattle and they would not send it to me. It took only a fe days though, 5 weeks seems like a lot.

[dsirdah]

can you purchase it and send it to me and i will send you the money .. or you can put it on ebay and i will purchase it from there..

Hah, Honeywell bought Alerton. You can buy this cable through your control products divison. This part number should be in the order system.

[dsirdah]

hehehe you are right, but thats a very long story... :cool: so how can i buy the cable ? from you not from though honeywell :D

[gmha9x]

dsirdah,
It is from Honeywell which I bought my cable, and this is where I would be getting you one from. BTW, I am not likely to be in the same country as you.

[gmha9x]

Also, if you are really keen, you can make this cable yourself. It just has a MAX233ACWP RS232 multichannel receiver/driver chip in it. Let me know if you want the pinouts.

[dsirdah]

yes i can make it , just give me the correct pinout setup. plz

[dsirdah]

:cool:
Here is the pin connection to make Alerton Config. cable:

(DB-9):
2: MAX- 14.
3: MAX- 13.
5: MAX- 15.

(CAPS): 0.1uF
MAX 1:3
MAX 4:5
MAX 2:16
MAX 6:15

AC-2650 (J3):
1: GND – MAX : 15
2: +5 – MAX : 16
3: MAX- 12.
4: MAX- 11.

after u finish say thank you :D

Well done!

I'm interested in making up this cable too...just checking to see if this pinout worked out OK. Using the 20 pin MAX233ACWP 9827 - THANKS for any feedback!

[techcontrol]

OK, I see, the pinout is given for a MAX232A not the driver mentioned above. I can do that...
