I am trying to use a RCM3000 with a USB/Serial converter (9 pin, Prolific chipset) but it will not connect. I have tried all options and configurations on the Rabbit Field Utility. The USB/Serial is on COM7 and a loopback test confirmed it is working.
Has anyone had this problem with RCM or other and what is the solution?
Thanks
A loopback test can only confirm the very basic aspects of a RS232 serial port. USBSerial converters have acquired quite a reputation around here for often not getting some aspects of RS232 besides pure RXTX wrong to varying degrees. This ranges from "simply missing" to "works most of the time, but sometimes it'll be just that critical bit too late, especially if you move a USB mouse on the same host a bit too much".
