Plug the cable into the CNC. At the PC end, plug in the RS232 tester - RD will be lit.
Tranmit from the CNC out to the PC and you will need to see RD lit.
An 086 alarm is either 6-8-20 and 4-5 are not jumpered or bad soldier job, or you are on the wrong port / channel at the CNC.
The point is that sending from the PC works and data is accepted, but the machine does not think it has a "DEVICE" or cable attached to it saving back to the PC and warns you with the 086 alarm. By putting the tester next to the PC and attempting to punch / output, the RD should flash.
