What is a RS232 cable ?
This is a serial 9 pins cable that you should connect from your computer to your receiver. Without this cable you will not be able to program your receiver, except if you have a USB receiver, but even if you have a USB receiver but cannot access your MENU, you will not have other choice but to transfer the “bin” file from your computer.
The RS232 cable is based on the RS232 standard, developed in the 1960s to allow computers to connect to external devices. While originally intended for modems, the cables began to be used for printers, keyboards and mice. They were made of either a 25-pin or a 9-pin system, where each pin is able to transmit a specific voltage and is used for a specific tasks. The RS232 cables have been largely replaced by USB cables.
