Remote Control Tutorial
WARNING!!! - DO NOT CONNECT YOUR MCG-2 UNIT TO A
TELEPHONE SYSTEM. DAMAGE MAY RESULT AND YOUR
WARRANTY MAY BE VOIDED.
The RJ11 connectors are for remote control of the MCG-2 from a PC
computer RS232 port, and not for direct connection to a telephone
system. The MCG-2 may be controlled over phone lines with the use of
a modem.
Your MCG-2 may be controlled from a PC computer via the
computer’s RS232 (serial) port by sending the MCG-2 simple two

commands).
We provide:
1 RJ11 cable
1 DB9 to RJ11 adapter

You will need to determine if you have one or two RS232 ports, and
the name of the one you plan to use. The names will be C
