dburton Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I've read that the serial connection between the GE Concord and the MC should be straight through. The Concord has a DB9 connection. The MC I'm connecting to has already used up the 2 DB9 serial ports (one for a TV and the other for a Sony 777). So, I need to connect the Concord to the MC's SERIAL 3 using CAT5e. This input wires are: TX, NC, RX, NC, RX+, RX-, TX-, TX+, GND. Which wires from the CAT5e go into which MC Serial 3 connection?When I attach a DB9 connector on the other end for the Concord, which wires get used?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junebug Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Use the DB9 for the Concord and take the 777 to the Pheonix connector. I don't know what pins the Concord uses but here is the diagram for the 777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasvegas_rob Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 The Concord uses the straight through method. 2, 3, and 5 for tx, rx, and gnd respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joberle Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 These are the same but much cheaper.http://www.national-tech.com/catalog/modularadaptors.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'd recommend that instead of sending the serial that far, you should relocate the SuperBus 2000 Automation Module further from the security panel. The keypad wiring of the panel (which the Automation Module connects to) was designed as a differential RS-485 serial connection, and because of that, can tolerate much longer distance wire.Extend the keypad bus to the location of your automation wiring, and use a regular (short) serial connection.RyanEEdited to Add: Fixed grammar error.
