hi ,first off may i say what a great site this is well done hosts!!
i have a small problem with the erovox i have set up great no problem.
but i am trying to up-date fimwear via pc,had to get a serrial pc card for computer ,i have got the lead to connect eurovox ,but my pc is NOTseeing the box, i have tryed the softwear Voxer and DnUpMan_DVBC_,but both still not seeing eurovox? the pc card seems to be set-up ok (device manager ect) one note i think my eurobox has been flashed before because on power up i get ---- then go,s straght to
numbers am i missing some-thing ? (i am useing 9 pin serial lead which was supplied with the box?)
The problem may be with the serial card you have used.
1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your serial adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
8. Go back to dnupman and make sure it is looking at the correct port. Dnupman when set to auto config should be finding it for you, thats the confusing bit.
9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected.
Failing that I would recommend you use a USB to serial port adapter in conjunction with the null modem cable you have.
thanks , sc0user, yes the serial adapter is connected and on port 12
i think i know what the problem is ,the cable which wsa supplyed is a straght tho lead ie 1 to 1 2 to 2 and so on i think is should be null wired ie, 1 to 9 2 to 8 if you get my drift..lol.if this is right i might re-wire it my self ...lol...
As you said if you have a straight through lead it wont work. As for you rewiring it I would say they are moulded type D9s and it would be easier to purchase one. The pin out that matter is the crossover between pin 2 & 3.
