    I think you'll need to flash it with firmware did the bloke you bought it of give you a null modem cable and a software cd?

    As Karl said ---- indicates no firmware so it needs to be flashed.

    You will find the latest firmware here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/578790 complete with instructions.

    You will need a null modem cable DB9F to DB9F.

    Null modem info here

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=L71BT&DOY=2m6

    If your pc does not have a serial port you will need a USB to serial port adapter to use in conjunction with the null modem cable.

    USB Adapter info here

    http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Modu...erial Adaptor

    These two cable links are only for reference as they can be purchased alot cheaper on fleabay.
