I'm trying to kick my XP Pro machines com1 port into life. I'm trying to get my Megger CM500 or the Seward Supernova PAT tester to talk with their respective programmes. All seems firn but neither will communicate with Com1 RS232 cable. I've buzzed out the pins and they're 2-3, 3-2, 5-5, 6-4, 4-6. as expected (cable supplied by Megger) and a second as supplied by Seward too. No joy with either.
Is there something I can check in the BIOS settings to determine if the port is active?
Can I run an XP check on the port that will say more than 'the device is functioning correctly'
I'm not used to this stuff as I normally use a mac where I just want to get the work done. Only use the PC for Visio, AutoCad and wanted to get a bit more out of it by uploading & storing test data.
Any pointers appreciated.
