LG Aria Gdk-162 PC Admin connection 1

[LukeSomeone]

Hi Guys

I'm trying to get a rs232 connection to a GDK-162 to change some programming, The previous contractor has been removed and I've never worked on one of these as i mostly work on the cabling side

I've tried GDK PC admin, but i can't get a connection, I'm Running Win7 and a usb to serial adapter
I've tried multiple baud rates, all i get is "GDK did not respond" when i try to open programming
I tried a null modem converter inline at on stage was getting "Pending IO" msgs on the console.

I need some help, I'm completely out of my depth here but i really don't want to have to pass this client on to my competition

some crappy pics i took, i'm trying the rs232 connector pictured, the current connector terminates somewhere on the IDF

What programming do you need to do? It can all be completed via keyset programming and is much easier to complete.

Pop down what your changing from and to and many folk on here will help you program the system.

Those USB to Serial connectors can be a pain and I tried 3 different brands to I found one that connected correctly.

Hi

To activate system programming on another display handset.

From the main reception handset:
Trans/PGM
*#
If it says enter password dial 147*
Trans/Pgm
21
Enter station number twice (New handset you wish to program from)
Press flex button 4 to switch light on
Press Hold/Save
Press Speaker

You can now program the system from the reception handset and the new extension you've just activated.

To change a name on any digital extension:
From the phone itself:
Trans/Pgm
Speed
00
Speed
enter name
Hold/Save

It's a start!!!!

Hi Luke

These phone systems were designed to be programmed via the phone, not so much via a computer.

I have never programmed one of those systems using a PC.

I've attached the programming manual

And the feature guide.

Good Luck

Hi

Pretty sure the PC tool comes up with a display of the handset and you have to program the system by clicking the Trans/pgm button and codes anyway. May as well stick to using the handset.
