My ems wont connect to my laptop. im using a usb to serial adaptor, does that matter?

coms are setup correctly

 

i tried an adapter once and it didnt work for me either. there maybe a certain way to make it work but i had to find a laptop with the correct serial port to get it to work.

 

Mine works with a USB to Serial adapter, the one I use is the keyspan high speed model.

i was using a belkin, did you have to do anything different to make it work? im gonna exchange mine tomorrow. and try the keyspan

 

Didn't need to do anything special, I had to use com4 which was strange, but other than that it worked fine. Should be a small black box with a silver cable, if that helps you find it.

 

make sure you have the correct COM/Port!!!!!!!!!
thats a prob I had to begin with too(was also using an adapter)
I think mine is 7

I had that problem too cuz aem is set for 1 and my usb was 4! After that work great with the usb adapter

 

I had a similar problem, I had to install the driver that came with my usb/com converter. Check the port setting, if that doesnt work install the driver if you havent already.

 

Yep, I'm using one too. Had to install the drivers from the cd ^

 

Did the driver work out for you then Jeff?


Yea if you are Using XP use the drivers that came with the connector. I have the Belkin one too.
Also make sure the com port is correct. mine is set to com4 and works perfect
