I have bought the null modem cable m to f 9 pin plus 15pin to 9 pin converter (my laptop has 15 pin f and eurovox has 9 pin m). But when I connect Eurovox then it is not detecting the box. Any help?

If it is not the driver it will be your com port. Make sure the correct port is open. I had the same problem with mine at first. If you search the posts on the site you will find one that talks you through it step by step.

To see which port your USB adapter is connected to, connect your USB adapter and follow the following instructions:

1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Properties"
4. Click on the "Hardware" tab
5. Click on "Device Manager"
6. Click the + sign next to "Ports (COM & LPT)"
7. One of the listed ports should indicate which port your USB adapter is connected to (e.g. COM1, COM2, COM3, etc.)
8. Go back to your map software program that you use to transfer data and make sure it is looking at the correct port.
9. You should be able to transfer data once the correct port is selected

What you are doing there is connecting your 9 pin Null modem cable to a VGA
output connector on the back of the Lappie and not a com port.
You may have to buy a USB - Serial adaptor to hook up the null modem cable
successfully.

Thanks for all the advice. I have now got the USB Serial adopter and null modem cable but still it is not detecting the eurovox. I checked the device properties and according to that the USB Serial adaptor is on COM14 and I only get COM 1 to 4 in the software. Any help?

As Martin-f told you to find your com number , then right click your mouse , select properties , then change your com number to 1 or 2

Kays · 23-08-09, 08:59 PM

Thanks. Changed the port to COM 4 and COM 2 still the software is not able to detect the eurovox box. Have I got the correct software - Im using Unified Flash Loader v1.0
