Abstract: A connector adaptor, alone or paired with a second connector adaptor and joined by a 4-pair CAT-5 type unshielded twisted pair cable, capable of transmitting synchronous data in RS232 type format between data transmissions equipment and data communications equipment, the adaptor having an equipment interface with greater than eight active pins and an RJ45 type interface, where eight of the active pins are connected directly to the eight contacts of the RJ45 type interface and at least one of the active pins is connected directly to another of the active pins in looped or shorted manner.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring performance information is provided whereby a number of sites are connected to a server via a communications network. An IT tool residing on the server provides forms via which each site submits the performance information to a plurality of databases by an area of interest. As the information is entered, it is monitored for conformance against the pre-established performance criteria set by the program administrator in the system so that at any given time, a report can be generated as a function of currently stored data. Nonconformance is flagged and notification is sent to the appropriate parties in a position to remedy the nonconformance.
