Snap4000 Com1 port - Page 2

Nuschel · 03-18-2007, 03:47 PM

Phoenix,

If you get a chance, could you provide some additional technical details on how you connected via the COM port on your 4000?

I have a standard 10 pin keyed serial connector.
I tried a null modem cable, and Hyperterminal set to 8 N 1 on the COM port, but I get no response from the 4000.

Did you use a standard null modem cable? If not, could you provide pinout information?

I realize that my particular board may not support connection via this method as well, but I'm trying to learn all I can about this thing.

Thanks

Okay, my cable is a 10 pin keyed RS232 on one end and female 9 pin RS232 (like the comm ports on the back of your PC). Honestly, I never checked the cable to see if it was set up as a NULL MODEM cable (crossed send and receive signals) or not, so I cannot tell you for sure.

It has been a long time since I connected to the 4000 that way, but it seems like it was 9600 8 N 1 if I rememebr right.

I know I am not much help here guys, but it was quite a while ago now and I just don't remember all the details.

I'll try a straight-through cable as well. Thanks for the info

Too bad you dont have my smart box

It only take about 15 sec to configure a cable. I use to use it all the time connecting to PLC and other smart hardware.

I hadn't seen one of those before, but a Google image search shows that it looks a lot like a device I had planned to build just for that purpose.

Mine is close to 15+ yrs old. That was when every thing was serial including printers. Has DB25 connections on both ends, so I carried 25 to 9 adapters.
