    Need help with communication.

    Hello to eveyone,
    i am really new to cnc machines and i have a elox-fanuc series n wire cut, i believe that the control is a 6M and i am haveing trouble with the machine communicating with the pc. i have gotten 3 trial postprocessors and none of them seem to be working. i am thinking that its the parimeters in the cnc that i need to change but i do not know what to change them to??? i also dont know what would happen if i changed them back to the parimeters that are in the manual??? Does any one have any suggestions that can be done?
    Thanks!!!

    The important thing is that your RS232 setting match the PC setting, do you have the parameter description for the 6?
    P 024 & 025
    You need a 3 wire cable as shown, ignore the 0 parameter settings.

    P24bit 0 = 0/1 is 1 or 2 stop bits
    P25 for 4800 baud = 11101111.
