USB to Serial adapter issue - ABA DSS

derecl · March 22nd, 2009

Hi there, I have a Captive works 600p. I recently got a new computer with Vista on it. There is no serial port for the null modem cable. Purchased a Belkin USB/ Serial Portable Adapter. Successfully loaded the latest Vista Driver and the adapter is working. But when I try to load a bin the progress bar does not move. I have checked the Baud rate 115200, set com port to #1. nothing seems to work. Any help appreciated

did you use the cable that came with receiver to hook between the adapter and the receiver

Try using com 4 or 5 in the loader pgm. It might be 1,2,3,6,7 etc but 4 or 5 is most common.

yes I had a similar problem and my com port was different with my usb to serial i had to use com 4 here, one way of finding out is to go into your control panel and see what com port your comp has used to designate for that particular usb com port good luck and welcome to ABA

I have the right cable , I have the com port set to #1, but the progress bar stays at 0% and the stb display goes to 0001. Also after closing the loader I get a windows msg. that says "Upgrade MFC Application has stopped working".

Have you tried changing the port in your loader program?

USB to serial adapters will not work with some STBs

it does work with the cw600p tho ; had you tried redoing the driver that your usb to serial cable came with your issue may be there

I have the most up to date driver for Vista.

Do as Bobo said, just keep trying different com ports till it accepts the file. Change the com port on the loader...

I have tried all com ports. I have set the adapter to com port 1 in Device Manager.

I have the same problem with pansat 2700A. I am using I-756x Vista Driver with ICPDAS 7560. It will extract the files but will not download to cable. Any suggestions appreciated. Everytime I dbl. click the icon the program wants to reinstall.
