Manual and PC interface software WANTED for CA-67 A/U Field Phone (Shelter unit). - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

I have one of these, and am looking for the manual and software. A fellow is selling them along with the phone on Ebay for $95, but I really don't need another unit.

No luck on TPub site. Here's the muanufacturer's page:Star Dynamic - Interface Unit CA-67A/U 5895-01-443-5081

I see you posted this awhile ago, but have to ask:

Did you ever find any manual or data software for the CA-67? I too am looking with no luck. Thanks.

I have a couple of them, but no manual. Hooked up with quad, and flipped at one end (IE red-black on XMT on one end and REC at the other phone, likewise with yellow-green), set on PT/PT, they will serve well as an intercom (pick up one and the other rings). The PRC68 site has full instructions on using them this way. I just gave you the condensed version.

For other uses, I think they may have to go through a switchboard - need to talk to a commo technician for more info.

Thanks. I saw the point to point instructions on that prc68 site. Was kind of looking for info to do more than 2, also for possibly connecting the data terminals to connect 2 computers (was just trying to get an idea from the specs to see if it would be even worth it versus ethernet or wireless.) And also seeing what kind of connection to a switchboard would make connecting to home telephone line work (if even possible). Thanks for the reply, though!

Hi Guys! Saw your post the other day Jay--Yes I finally saw the Ebayer I referenced at the top was offering a manual and floppy for sale WITHOUT a unit this summer. I think I still paid too much, but bought a set and took a quick look before filing it away for later use. As I remember, the manual wasn't the typical TM you might expect with all the skinny on the unit itself. The focus was more about the interconnection of several networks using yet another piece of hardware, to manage a field phone system. Like I said, I'm fuzzy on the details, but apparently I didn't find anything that made me excited enough to take it further at that point.

I've been side-tracked through the summer with my Com Shelter / Ham Shack conversion, so I'm way behind posting there, too. When I clear the decks a little, I'll scan and post the "manual" and software on the "Resources" area for everyone.

Good luck!

I found TM 11-7025-328-12P (CA-67). It's 1.2 MB and 157 pages.
Distribution:
To be distributed in accordance with DA Form 12-36-E, block 9897 requirements for TM 11-7025-328-12&P.

So I'm not sure whether it is Distribution A or not. Can someone check to see if it is OK to post?
