Does the Coolstat 5000 up and running? Thanks

[Recove52]

YES it is up on private servers using the RQSSSP program...

[gcs2665]

How do I get it? Thanks

[Recove52]

google iksprivateserver.com and do some reading in the private server sections ..as there are multiple choices on IKS servers.. but do some research on it ..

Does the RQSSSP Program require the receiver to be constantly connected via serial cable to the computer?

[poppy]

Yes you have to stay connected to the computer.

Not real sure on this because I've never fooled around with the coolsat but from my research the 5000 uses a straight cable instead of a null. That could possible be the hold up on the load.

[mcdonald35]

what do you mean by a straight cable? i have never heard of this that i can recall. thanks

[josemiel]

For serial cables you will find Straight Through or Null Modem Cable. They look the same but work different.

For the Coolsat Receivers you need a Straight Through Cable. It should be the same cable that came with the receiver

[mcdonald35]

thank you guys for the help! i spoke to a local friend who had a spare cable to lend me.. i have never worked with coolsats before and like i said a friend asked if i could get it going so i learned something new.. thanks again for the help!!!!

[steven charles]

friend make sure its the rs232 cable that came with your coolsat when you bought it,because every box comes with there own rs232 cables....

[mcdonald35]

yes thank you! like i said tho it was not my receiver so i didnt have that cable and had no idea the 2 were different! but thanks to some local help and help from everyone on here i have now gotten the file loaded!

[mcdonald35]

has anyone used a laptop to run a 5000 on client program using a usb to rs232 conversion cable? the client will connect but i cant seem to get the receiver to respond back? i have already loaded the files in this way but not getting any feeback from stb now

[mcdonald35]
