UPS + com1 port connection problem

CaptainHaplo · 03-22-09, 09:18 PM

I will do some research on that device.

As for it showing in the device manager - no that doesnt mean its working right - lots of things can go wrong with serial ports - but testing them means you need a good test app (which I can get you should you need it) and the ability to short pins on the port or on the cable.

I am tweaking this box with win7 at the moment - so give me a bit to research and let me see what I can find.

Yes I was thinking about testing this port somehow too. Should I google for test app ? Since I don't have anything elso to connect to com1 port to see does it work at all.

First of all I do experience lots of hungapps (Not responding) status when operating this program.

Usually it crashed on me when hiting serial port button. Then when I finally managed to brake through hungups this is what I saw:

It's not like there (Com 1 should read N N N N Y Y on the signals)

and after I put the dot on com1 and hit OK it hungups again

I did disconnected the UPS end of the cable, completely switched off pc. Turned it on back again. And there were still lots of hungapps.

When I disconnected the RS 232 cable from pc restarted and ran the digicom.exe again signals changed to N N N N Y Y on com1, but hangups still occur
