Sounds like you have the wrong cable , I would say you have the rs232 but you need a NULL MODEM CABLE

 

whats the difference between the rs232 cable and the null modem cable? they both seem to look the same.

 

Good question,I think it's to do with the wires inside the cable for the different types of data transfers,one cable is for one type of data and the NULL cable is for another,I may be wrong but I'm nearly sure it's something like that.

 

null modem cable has a crossover wire, where the rs232 is straight wired 1-1,2-2,3-3,4-4

 

Thanks for that cacti
