How to upload data opticum 4000c

[script_]

Hi All

I'm struggling to find out the way to upload and / or download data between my laptop and my opticum 4000c. I did not found too many manual on the google.

What i would like to do is to set the channels to the sequence as I like it.

I have a Toshiba 4090 XCDT ,Win XP, Toolbox_1.6_Opticum.exe , Null modem cable.
I did connected the ports, I did set the bit rate to 115200 on the laptop ,so and so.

When I start the Channel editor it is trying to connect to the box but after like 30 seconds it comes up with a fault message, something like it can not connect.

Can any body help me to find a good tutorial so I can learn how to upload / down load data ?
May be I have to set my box to a special channel or the null modem cable wiring isn't right or somethings else.

Thanks for your help.

Hi m8..

I have uploaded a manual for your receiver here:-

http://www.satmoz.com/forum/showthre...877#post179877

I doubt it will solve your problem but you may find it useful in general

Your stb has the Ali chipset.. and Nih@sh is our expert on Ali chipsets.. so perhaps he can help you when he gets here..

Most laptops don't have an RS232 now so i wonder if you are using the USB/RS232 adapter.. If so then i would suspect this as your problem..

If you do have a genuine RS232 then check it in device manager and set the baud rate lower than you have done to around 9600

Check your null-modem cable.. pins 2 & 3 are transposed from each connector.. and pin 5 is straight through..

Hi parad0x_i

Thanks for a quick response.
I'm using the mentioned laptop because it is quiet good for setting up PLC-s and it has a real parallel port.

The baud rate originally was set to 9600 on the laptop. When I opened the channel editor's settings I saw the channel editor baud rate is 115200 and no settings available.
That is the reason I set the laptop the same.

I certainly will check the null modem cable thanks for the wiring info as well.
:wink_smile:

Is there any specific channel where I need to set the box in case of data transmission?

Or could you tell me the process please?
Thanks for the manual :-)

hi my friend
this problem is not in your box .this problem is in your pc . you most buy usb to rs232 adapter and install software it .and make sure your cable is (2<->3,3<->2,5<->5)
good luck:thumbs_up:

You're welcome.. :thumbs_up:

Parallel port is not the one to do this.. RS232 is a serial port..

Sorry ,serial port ....true, true,

I did checked the Null modem cable pins 2 & 3 are transposed from each connector.. and pin 5 is straight through. I think the other pins are not in use. So I did not checked.

So i'll tell you what I'm doing step by step.
1. /Real serial ports/ Connected
2. Laptop boot up / Win XP
3. box is on , up and runing
4. start the program called : Opticum 4000c and series
5. In the menu I'm chosing the Ali editor
6. go to upload STB-->PC
7. give a name for the file.
8. save
9. Then it says ''Test serial port status''
10. It comes up with the error message => Serial port probe error
11. Set the baud rate back to 9600 from 115200
12. comes up with the same error message as above.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance :-)
