Ok, let me repeat: You do NOT connect the red wire. That information does not apply, whatsoever. You don't use that wire, whatsoever. All you need is GND, TX, and RX. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I noticed something---see attached picts...You will notice that a pict that I extracted from this forum shows the "lands" and their designations as to what they do/go to (tx, rx, gnd, etc)...You will notice that om the printed circuit board pict, it says 3.3V and in the description of the cable I have saying 5volts....Now what?
Gonna tackle this in the morning after church services...Have installed Putty in XP laptop...Have to look for configuration on line as to setting up the program and "field" entries.
HyperTerminal in Windows XP: Start Button->All Programs->Accessories->Communication->HyperTerminal.
To save the configuration, click File-->Save As, and select a save location
Putty: check the Device Manager (Win) or `dmesg` output (Linux) for the COM port name.
Select Serial under Connection, use the port used for serial.
(e.g. COM3 in Windows)[/color]

Ok, have gone into (winxp) device manager and Ports (COM and LPT) and lists only Printer Port (LPT1) and NO SERIAL CONNECTION LISTED.
we cannot see what is on YOUR screen.
**I know that.
do not know what you are doing right not exactly.
**I don't know either.
are you making attempts at trying to solve this?
**I would not be here wasting time if I wasn't...It seems this is fighting me every step of the way....They should have made the usb port in the rear to be "first boot" and have a downloadable stock software on the manufacturers website.
I saw a link on a very recent post about drivers for xp BUT, was never advised to download and install them....Might as well now, since I can't proceed any farther being told by Putty to connect to a port that is not listed.
