Capturing data through RS-232

1. Connect the computer's serial port (where our PBX Data Logger is installed) to the 25-pin connector at the back of the CS 1000 (Com RS232 port) labelled port #2.
2. CS1000 will pump out raw CDR data at 9600 7/N/1 (Note: the 7 data bits!).

If you can't capture data using default parameters, then verify your PBX settings:
