[time-nuts] Lucent RFTFm-II-XO

[Chris Waldrup]

I also wanted to mention that I can't get the Lucent to communicate at all with the TBoltMon program so that's why I decided to try LadyHeather. 
I do hope I connected the cable pins right, I connected Lucent RS 422 TX pins to the USB to 422 adapters RX pins and the Lucent 422 RX pins to the adapters TX pins.

This usually works, but some hardware serial ports have voltage threshold issues reading data from the device (the RS-422 signals don't swing as much as the RS-232 ones do).  All my USB-serial dongles work well, but I have had some issues with genuine hardware serial ports.
