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
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!!!!
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....
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!
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
