Need Help!- how get a oi-tc control to read from a parallel port

[firekoe]

I have a oi-tc control and would like to send my programs from my computer using the parallel port on the side of the machine but don't know how to set it up. can any one help me??

Thanks

unless i'm mistaken, there is no parallel port

you may be looking at the DB25-female serial port (rs-232-c) on the machine and mistaking it for a parallel port...

you most likely want serial communications... of which there are plenty to choose from (i recommend "DNC Server" from i-logic for a cheap and full featured DNC system, but you can even use a terminal included on most pc's, like hyperterminal in windows)

You also need an RS232 cable.
