Title: Mastercom 250 hook up order Post by: BigEd on September 08, 2013, 06:26:50 PM Hi guys. Lots of good info out here on the Mastercom 250 once you get up and working. Howerver, I need help getting my 250 system off the ground.
Can someone give me the dummys guide to hooking up the components? I have the main box, I have the display, I have the keypad, and I have the card reader. All of the components (except the main box) have two "phone jacks" on them. IF I hook the display up (first in the chain), I get it to read "Bally Systems (C) 1996" If I hook the reader up first then its lights blink all around the card reader. However if I daisy chain them together, only the first one in the string works. Can anyone tell me the proper hook up order? I appreciate your help very much.

MasterCom looking at the plug with the contacts up: Black, Red, Green, and Yellow at each end. A phone cord will have one end the same and other end will be in reverse order.

You were dead on. After a long tedious job of cutting and resplicing phone cables last night I got both items to power on. Now I move on to the task of trying to read and reprogram the chip to read a custom message. Thanks for helping me on that. You nailed it! |
