need help with coolsat 4000 - ABA DSS

Dawger1 · January 24th, 2009

I,m trying to load my 4000 with 2.4 loader. When I try to verify com port connection, I,m getting message to connect receiver and turn on receiver, but its already connected and turned on. In otherwards it isnt recognizing com port connection. Using null modem cable. Haven,t used this coolsat in a while. Any help much appreciated.

The cable needs to be a straight not null.

Open the loader, select the file and then after you initiate the transfer, turn the power on to the Coolsat via the rear switch right away ... it may take some timing and a few tries to get it just right, but you'll get it.

Coolsat 4000 Plus - Null
Coolsat 4000 Pro - Straight DB9

Which unit do you have?

My bad- I have the pro. I can,t find original cord for this unit . Will a viewsat extreme cord work? Thanks.

Viewsat Xtreme uses a NULL cable. So the answer is unfort. NO.

Would radio shack carry the straight DB9 cable?

Yes, or perhaps a better bet might be a PC store. Radio Sha*k blows.
