What setting do I need in the comms menu then ?

Ive got the RS232 set to Direct. Can see anything that says Disable / Enable ?

if its on direct for access, and anytime then its not a setting problem, possible baud rate issue?

, possible baud rate issue?

Whats 00110011 in real money then ?

sorry i know a lot in my head but id need a manual myseof for that!

ignore that last one - im trying to figure out what the binary code settings on the 232 board mean so I can match them,

it was 51 anyway - which is no good!

is there a specific manual for the 232 module ?

ve got the classic 500 with the 232 mod - connected to the S1 engineers port via the little fly lead.

Coming from the mod, out of the parallel port, converter to serial and then converts to usb.

Parallel?

Isnt the 232 mod a RS232 (serial) port module... So no need to convert to serial.

Or do you have some different type of board?

The dip switches,

1 is On=Printer, Off= RS232

2 is Stop Bits, On=2, Off=1

3 is Data Bits, On=7, Off=8

4 is Parity, On=Odd, off=Even

5 is Parity, On=Use it, Off=None, Dont use parity

6 onwards are baud rates.

1200 is Off, On,Off

2400 is Off, On, On

9600 is On, Off, On

19200 is On, On, Off

38400, On,On,On

Serial lead, on the module, 2 is tx, 3 is rx, 4 cts, 5 rts, 7 gnd.

Look up the standard serial connectors on google for your pc and ensure that between your module and your pc

CTS needs to go to RTS

RTS to CTS

TX to RX

RX to TX

Gnd to Gnd
