Usb To Serial Adapters

[European Alarms]

Hi,

Does anybody have some reccomendations for usb to seral converters which will work with Galaxy panels? have anybody used these with some of the SCC's that are out there?

Any recomendations for the Expresscard/PCMCIA cards that might work?

I currently use a USB232-p25, it works fine witgh Visonic gear but not the galaxy, the RSS s/w does not see the port.

Many thanks,

Andy

Cannot tell which ones as they are in the office.

bought a couple from Ebay, for a few quid. Work fine. Just remember which usb slot you set the thing up on, and use that every time....

Looks like I just need to buy a new but different one..... I'll give it a go.

Thanks all,

express card/pcmcia will be a true rs232 port and should function 100% , usb ones can sometimes have timing issues and they are not a true serial port as they are a software emulated device.
