Anonymous | Build yourself a Null Modem cable out of a strait through cable PCCW brand serial cable Item#MC-301 hi, i got a receiver from a guy for free. there was no serial cable with it, i went and bought one from the computer store.. when the loader program i downloaded didnt work (before i knew about clones) i took the cable apart and rewired it as null modem or crossover cable.. I realize now that for the pansat 2500 and clones, its just a strait through cable, and only three connections are required between the PC and the FTA unit. For anyone who is interested, this information could be helpful, i spent a good while with the wire coloring for each pin using a multimeter. Colors could be different for different brands of serial (db9) cables.. Im not sure Connections required are 2/3/5 (pins) to make it a null cable you cross 2 with 3, 3 with 2 and 5 strait to 5(system ground) The rest of the cable get cut and are not used The coloring for my cable was Yellow(5) Red(3) Brown(2) Other receivers may require more connections This is a full out Null Modem cable 2 3 3 2 4 6,1 5 5 6,1 4 7 8 8 7 Here is the full wiring color list (remember, colors could be different for different brands of cable) Pin#/Color 1 - Black 2 - Brown 3 - Red 4 - Orange 5 - Yellow 6 - Green 7 - Blue 8 - Purple 9 - Grey Bare/no coating is Ground (optional) I hope this can help someone 'Cryogenic' |
