Thanks for your reply. I'm novice in this field and I might have some mistakes. I would request you to verify what I've done. 1. I'm using a DB9 with RJ45 interface. So I've made a RJ45 to RJ45 cable. The connecting is as follows: 1-------------6 2-------------4 3-------------1 4-------------5 5-------------3 6-------------2 7-------------7 8-------------8 So the connection is "Console port of usr-tc":RJ45---RJ45:DB9 :"COM port of windows pc" And I have no idea about the jumper settings as this device is not a brand new one and I don't have any manual or accessories. I got a manual from the web. Thanks you. Waiting for your reply :-) Ahsan Simon Joel - Fox Computers <jfox@foxcomputers.com> wrote:The default for the hardware is usually 9600bps, 8-n-1. If that doesn't work, you can check jumpers on the card you are trying to connect to, but most-likely the cable made is not correct. -----Original Message----- From: Ahsan Shariful [mailto:ahsansimon@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 2:42 AM To: usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] can't connect to cosole for usr-tc 1000 Hi, I need to setup a usr-tc. Hyperterminal can't connect to usr-tc 1000. I'm using a custom cable RJ45 - DB9 ( i got the pinout from this mailing list). I tried with all bits/second (110 to 115200) and other setting as "8-None-1-Hardware". I can't figure out the problem. I don't have the null moded cables or any other cable provied with this hardware. Somebody please help :-) Ahsan --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
