How do I connect to the config port of an OXO system without having a V24 port on my new laptop? A usb to serial convertor does not seem to work though I use it for OXE systems!! Please help...I have been struggling ever since I got this laptop and would get into a soup if I do not manage to connect to the system through LAN.

OXO connectivity works well with usb to serial converter. I use it w/o problems.

How do I make the COM port used by usb to serial connector to appear in the list when I go for a Local V24 connection?

Thanks again!

Same procedure as for v24 COM. USB device has to be connected while doing so.

I can't seem to get my V24 connection to PowerCPU systems to work. Most people I know use an old Cisco console cable with the RJ45 reversed, which is fine for OXO pre-PowerCPU. I had a look at the R8.1 tech manual and the pins are slightly different, so I open circuited pin 2 (old DSR) and pin 4 (was a GND) but still no dice. What have other people done to make cables for the new CPUs?

Search tool could have returned this:

Thanks very much. That solved the problem.

To the OP, my USB to Serial adapter uses a Prolific chipset and it works fine.
