PC to ACS connection problems MODEM AND DIRECT

[ICanBreakAnything]

I am not a stupid person but this communications issue with the Partner is really making me feel stupid.

I have a Remote access card that none of my modems can connect to. When I get one to work (for a while) I cannot transfer the translation tables. It usualy just locks up. I was able to download the Maint logs once. But cannot connect again. Many computers, many modems.

So I try the direct cable method, not my primary choice. Step 1,get 2 computers talking on a NULL modem 9pin. 19200 1,n,no flow. Great
Step 2 connect this cable to a 355 I made to everybodies spec. see below

DB9 to RJ45 Pinout _

rj-45
PIN 1 ORANGE 2 CD
PIN 2 GREEN 5 RD
PIN 3 YELLOW 6 TD
PIN 4 BLACK 3 DTR
PIN 5 RED 4 SG
PIN 6 BROWN 7 DSR
PIN 7 WHITE 8 RTS
PIN 8 CTS
PIN 9 BLUE 1

NOTHING
I use a straight cable , no crossover same wire on right side of each end. Direct to the Partner messaging RS232 connector. Nothing.

SO I have 9 pin male on computer
Null modem cable that works to 9 pin
connector as above
straight cable


I have spent much time on this and NEED HELP!
Moving tomorrow...

The difference is the pin 6*7 which I will try. But there is another part to the question. Is the cable from the computer a NULL modem cable or straight modem cable?

Second: Is the cable from the adapter to the ACS a straight cable or cross-over? IE is pin 1 on the left on both ends?

Thanks

a standard RJ-45 cable, which you will connect to the DB-25 to RJ-45 adapter and the Admin port on the PARTNER ACS 509 processor module. AKA straight through cable
