Problem with Meridian 561M

[mutley]

hi, bit of a problem here.

bought a 561M (second hand) but it didn't came with a RS232 cable.

bought a serial cable (female both ends) and connected it to my laptop and ran meridian configuration.

can't make it work. it can't establish connection...

what is wrong?

the meridan (1.7) in on standby, COM 1 is selected. Can't figure it out...

Any Help?

Thanks.

The cable should be a NULL modem type one.

Dunno if that's the same as your one, just thought i'd let you know...

I purchased my cable from Maplins.

I'd imagine you could pick one up from most PC vendors.
