Thanks again Mark,
have got the software and the data interfaces information.
However, all that information is doing my head in!! There are a number of things that i dont understand, When looking at setting TNCremo up it looks like i have to enter an ip address for the controller?? Is this correct, if so how do i find that out?
Before that though i need to know what cable to get made up. Ive looked through the data interfaces manual and just confused myself again, there appears to be different versions of the same cable for the same controller!! What is for example a hardware handshake or a software handshake?
The cable i need connects the machine control (RS232) to the serial port on the laptop, which i assume is a 25 pin plug to a 9 pin plug. Can anyone point me in the direction of a layout for this type of cable please.
