XTL/XTS5000 Cable for XTL mobile with IP223

[fog]

I have an XTL1500 and an XTL5000, and a few IP223s I'd love to interface them with. (This is for a dorky home project, not a mission-critical public safety system.)

While trying to find parts to fit the J2 port on the back, I mostly found ignition sense cables not exposing the other pins, and then PMLN4959, marketed as going to an O3 control head -- but it's already terminating in a DB25 for that. I cannot for the life of me find a pinout for this, but with 26 pins (two of which are ground) one one side and 25 pins on the other, it seems probable that I'd have what I want? But before I order a few of them, does anyone have actual experience with this?

Can you not do BCD channel steering off that connector? I had naively assumed you could, but most of what I'm finding with my poor Google-fu is people using consolettes with an actual tone board? I was going to drive this off an IP-1616 console.

I think you're correct on remote channel change. Only available on the SB9600 data line. Anybody do this with a VIP?

Consolette with a TRA is the only way I know of to get a Telex console to channel steer an APX or XTL.

Someone could probably rig an Arduino or other similar device to translate between Telex serial and SB9600, but no official interface exists that I’m aware of. Motorola would rather sell you Avtec equipment (at triple the cost…) than lose business to Bosch I suppose.
