[comp.sys.apple] Help with //c, AE, and a R212A Intelligent modem

kaz@ihlpl.UUCP (Johnson) (12/31/86)

I've been trying to hook-up a //c to a RIXON intelligent modem, with
very little luck, and I was hoping someone on the net could help
me out.  

The software that I'm  using is ASCII EXPRESS Version 4.2,
and the setup seems to go ok.

I've hooked up a cable between the modem and the //c as follows:

//c			DTE
DIN-5			RS232
-----------------------------------
1 (DTR) ------------> 	6 (DSR)
2 (TXD) ------------>   3 (RXD)
3 (GND) ------------>   7 (GND)
4 (RXD) ------------>   2 (TXR)
5 (DSR) ------------>   20(DTR)


Within AE I've set Permanent carrier to YES and Hayes Smartmodem 
installed to YES, because the RIXON modem emulates Hayes smartmodem.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Your pin assignments are wrong.
 The cable connector assignments should be as follows:

  //c
  DIN-5           RS232
  ---------------------
  1    DTR         20
  2    TD           2
  3    GND          7
  4    RD           3
  5    DSR          6
  
I successfully use AE with with a Hayes compatible smart-modem
on a IIC - witness this posting!!
