Texecom Ricochet And Pc Com

[jmfoottit]

PLease, has anyone managed to connect to Ricochet with pc com (Com1/rs232) connection ..... not USB

If so please could you confirm the handshake?

thanks

[james.wilson]

are you trying to connect a richocet receiver straight into the pc?

[jmfoottit]

yes, just the pc (com1) to the Com1 on the 32xp-w.

[MrHappy]

I assume the port on expander is for eng rkp ?

[james.wilson]

I don't think you can connect peripherals direct to the pc com.

[jmfoottit]

ok, so I can use Laptop (com1)> Pc com > Premier 48 (com1) and run ricochet s/w , and it will work?

(Assuming the Premier 48 and the 32xp-w are communicating ok)

if the question is "can I program the radio attributes of an expander connected to the panel using UDL connect to panel"

Yes I believe so

[james.wilson]

Yes you can program the unit via the panel. And you can program the panel from wintex

[jmfoottit]

so how are you meant to use ricochet?

[breff]

The Ricochet Expander has a com port connection, you connect your usbcom/pccom to that and run the ricochet software.

I've used a usbcom to connect, haven't tried a pccom
