    Did you get the 5 pin cable? hardware xon/xoff requires you cable to use the 5 pin configuration. I also just bought one of the Titan units for Fanucs. Love it. The guy I bought it from on ebay is quite knowledgeable.

    There are 2 pin configurations for DNC. 3 and 5. Software control only requires 3 pins. Hardware requires 5. If you look up in schematics for DNC you will see. the difference in connections. Always get 5...just in case. A 5 pin works for both setups.

    LOL. That's why I order them, too. Plus, I don't have the patience to troubleshoot something that has a hundred variables, like DNC.

    If you have a lot of patience there is no problem to fix everything. But you may have really a lot of patience.
