Merlin Magix Admin connection 1

[ssandefur]

Does anyone know what type of cable would be used to connect to the Admin port on the Magix? I made up a 355AF adaptor but need to know about the cable. I used the following pinout & seting with a straight cat-5 but no good:
RJ45 (9Pin Female)
1 blue 9
2 orange 8,6,1
3 black 4
4 red 5
5 green 2
6 yellow 3

Speed: 38400
Bits 8
Parity: None
Stop: 1
Flow control: None

Baud rate on the admin port is usually 1200 baud.

The Cable is a D8W, same as an MLX set.

Baud can be up to 2400.

Remote, maybe only 1200.

Is used for the Merlin Messaging RS232 port.

Um, if you're connecting to the admin port on the magix, you need to be running SPM, not a terminal program. SPM will automatically set the baud rate, at a blazing 2400 or 1200.
