RAD Direct Connect

[ddeberry]

I cannot direct connect to the RAD. I am using NRU 11.0. I have a dell latitude D520 and it has a serial port (Com 1). The serial port settings are 19200--8--N--1--flow control to none. I have tried on two different RADS and cannot get in. The program says initializing Com port 1 then RAD not responding. I can modem into the same RADS with no problems.
Any ideas??

Are you using a straight thru cable ?

Try 9600,8, N, 1

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

The cable is a straight through cable and I started at the 9600 setting. I have tried all the cables I have to include a null modem. What about the upgrade on the RAD? Could this cause problems if they are older version RADS? Don't know.

Fastrad uses 9600,8,N,1
I think the RAD was at 1200

My bad this is a fast rad

Use F9** to setup the baudrate - and then use the same in NRU.

It is a modem cable that is required

That being said - did you register the sysid in the RAD using 9**. I think that is required while connecting directly
