“Almost Full” Audible Alarm
The CRB unit can be set up to emit a beeping tone when its memory is 80% full. The

AXXESSORY Talk PC and Axxent Talk
If you have an Inter-Tel AXXESS or Axxenttelephone system equipped with an optional
AXXESSORYTalk PC an Axxent Talk (respectively), you can use theAXXESSORY
Talk PC or the Axxent Talk hard disk instead of a buffer box to storeSMDRcall records.
The call records are then transferred from theAXXESSORYTalk PC or the Axxent Talk
hard disk to your PC.
To do this, the“SMDR Buffering” application must be enabled...

Using the SMDR Buffer Programming window in the telephone system’s database pro-
gramming, the output port (COM2) on theAXXESSORYTalk PC or the Axxent Talk
must be set to the same bit rate as the selected communications port on your PC. The
available bit rates are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 bps (19200 is only avail-
able on the AXXESSORYTalk PC).

RS-232 Connectors
NOTE:RS-232 has undergone several revisions over the last 30 years. The most current
version of RS-232 is EIA/TIA-232-E (July 1991), which includes the alternate use of RTS
and CTS as character-by-character hardware flow control signals. The Inter-TelAXXESS
serial ports conform to RTS/CTS flow control per EIA/TIA-232-E. Older versions of
RS-232, such as EIA-232-D (1987) and RS-232-C (1969) are a subset of EIA/TIA-232-E.
Hence,...

Guidelines for Making an RS-232 Connection
NOTE:For purposes of this discussion, all pin numbers assume a DB25 connector (which
is the standard RS-232 connector) unless otherwise stated.
When making an RS-232 connection, the RS-232 pins can be subdivided into three groups
as listed below:
·
Data pins (TD and RD)— required
·
Ground pins (Frame ground and Signal ground) — required
·
Control and Status pins (DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, DCD, and RI) —...

22 Inside Track User GuideIn cases where a DTE connector mates with a DTE connector (e.g., a PC-to-PC connec-
tion), or in the case where a DCE connector mates with a DCE connector (e.g., an Axxent
Serial port and a modem), a“2-3 swapper” is needed so that the “Data Out” of one device
always connects to the “Data In” of the other device. A “2-3 swapper” is a simple adapter
that routes pin-2 to pin-3, and pin-3 to pin-2.
What sometimes causes confusion about which pin is...
