You do need the null modem adapter. I have this one:

Have fun the ZT2 is awesome... Just plug in and go.
OK. I just received my ZT-3. Anyone making a serial cable yet for the Zeitronix WB? I am reluctantly using my LC-1 with a TQ cable. So far, it is great. The serial cable makes for a cleaner setup. Just wish I had a serial cable for the Zeitronix ZT-3 as well.

Well I'm still not able to get this connected. The photo shows the RJ12(phone) cable from the Zt2 with the RJ12-DB9 adapter that came with the Zt2. Why can't the V2 be set up so I can just plug the RJ12 from the Zt2 directly into the V2?
The black adapter is the null modem connector with a gender changer on each end, even with this contraption the little screws won't all work. Thus not making a great connection. Then I still need another DB9-RJ12 adapter and a short male-male phone cord to plug into the V2. This things going to be foot long by the time I get done.
Is this correct? or am I missing something?
Another thing, I have fuel pressure signal running through this cord from the Zt2 as well. Will I be able to log this in the V2?
Before asking for help, please read this.
You need a null modem adapter not a gender bender.
This thread explains why two DCE devices (or two DTE devices) cannot be directly connected without a null modem adapter:
http://forum.efilive.com/showthread....hat-goes-to-v2
PC = DTE device
V2 = DCE device
WB = DCE device
So, the following connections work:
- PC -> V2
- PC -> WB
- V2 -> null modem adapter -> WB
A null modem adapter says "null modem" on it.
Your cable looks over-engineered... look at post #3 in that thread... or cut up your cables and solder them together with the Tx/Rx pins swapped.
