To connect to the box after only a couple attempts or first time you MUST use the correct cable as i was getting nowhere!Īlso on these copy prolific cables if you are getting errors installing it's because you used windows server which won't work the driver and cable won't match, delete the cable in device manager, disable your internet and then re-insert the cable and install with the CD provided and it will work perfectly. Straight wired is obviously 2-2, 3-3 & 5-5 which is not compatible even if you are using an automatic handshaking usb lead with prolific IC, at least it didnt work in my case. I used a cheap ebay (?1.67 delivered) usb-rs232 lead which claimed to have automatic handshaking so it should therefore have worked with any basic female rs232 female cable like a straight-wired one but it doesnt! The only way i could get the thing to flash the firmware was to make my own NULL cable out of the straight wired i bought.(i'm an electronics techy so have a soldering iron handy etc) but anyone else should just buy a female NULL cable.Īs has already been mentioned This box uses only 3 pins/wires to connect to your computer via rs232 but they link in NULL format which is 2-3, 3-2 & 5-5. I think one of the main issues here is people havent explained that a 'NULL' cable is absolutely essential to perform this box flash.
