    as it can be seen on your shema it s a full 9 pin standard rs232, but you are never obliged to use all the pins some protocol use only 3 if i remember emit /receive / and clear to send..
    best regards

    Hi some info regarding RS232 method
    1) RS232 cable connected to computer needs to have correct types of 9pins ie female to female or female to male
    2) RS232 to USB needs correct 9 pin connection either male or female.
    3) Correct loader for type of receiver - loader will contain setup for transferring file to receiver. For Spiderboxes you can use Hyper Terminal function if your PC has one or you should be able to get loader from manufacturers website.
    4) Correct file to transfer to receiver.

    Regards

    Im surprised anyone is making a receiver with a rs232 port anymore , how many years ago did you see laptops or pc's with them.

    or are they still used for factory flashing ?
