Can someone please clarify which cable is required for the updating of 'the box' from your PC.... I believe it to be RS232 Female to Female.... However many modern PCs don't have a serial port, is a USB > RS232 Female cable available. If not do you have to use an adaptor and will this still work?

You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

Null modem info here

If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

USB Adapter info here

These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.
