One reviewer connected this RS485 to his Aurora inverter. I have the Aurora, but couldn't get Communicator to sync. Can you give the detail config?

I am using the StarTech to connect a remote time clock system to serial connected keypads located on the shop floor. The time clock agent is running on a virtualized (which is why the StarTech is required) windows server. I found StarTech support to be clueless. The most important setting is to use a serial port that is not included in the common physical serial ports (Com1-com4) on the VirtualSerialPort software, I am using com5, TCP Client Remote Address is IP you assigned to StarTech Controller and port 30000.

In the Aurora Communicator under "Configuration" => "Communication Setup" you should find that the default mode of communication is "USB". This needs to be changed to "TCP/IP" and then the IP address needs to be entered into the Address field and the port that you selected for the StarTech needs to be entered into the Port field. My software immediately saw the data being transmitted from the inverter once I set up the StarTech AND the Aurora Communicator to listen on TCP/IP. If this doesn't work then we may need to look very carefully at just how you set up your StarTech, but let's eliminate the Aurora Communicator software from the list of possible causes first.

That's worth a call to BRK/1st Alert. Since the interconnect I've wire runs from unit to unit, the battery-powered units should be able to send the signal, but I don't know for sure.

Great question, I have several but have not yet connected them. I'll try to do that tonight and report back.

Also remember to set the DIP switch on the camera to the right control address, and make sure that all RS-485 cabling is A-A and B-B. If these things, and the other folks' input doesn't help, please describe your setup in detail. Good luck.

Both, it support U and EU plugins end it is inverter and coverer!One of a kind :)

I never got that far as the problem with the switch negated using it. I have a Harmony One and would of looked in the database but doubtful if this profile is there but you never know. The other choice is to try and get the remote to learn commands from the switch's remote. Wish I could of been more help.

Hi Matt, unfortunately I have not been able to use the converter because it is not compatible with my system.

No need . any suggestion just waist time. I did five time different computer to monitor. it's no work. so I have go to radio shake shop buy another adaptor . then work down . tks

I concur with K. Cuddeback. You do not have enough in this mix to do all the connection - nor have you said why you want to hook in the BD device - one of the folks could certainly give you more information once you explain what it is you are trying to achieve. - Grouchy

I have HT-RC360 and I adjusted A/V Sync at 150ms. At this setting, it seems perfectly synced.

I was curios if you were able to resolve your problem? I'm in the same situation. I got this machine from Europe last week. I tried three different converters, no luck.

RS-485 is half duplex (2 wires). For full duplex, you need RS-422 -- which this does support, but I've not used it.

Its pretty good in terms of transmission. I checked on modscan to see whether my loop is transmitting the datas or not. It really helped me to find that on RS485 communication. Speed was not my concern but the data being transmitted or received was checked.

Even if you use modified cables to get it connected, the device doesn't have enough power broadcast. I believe that the best option is to use a reapeater that has an SMA connector. I'm not sure about your application, but your solutions may deffer based on budget. Let me know if you have questions? adam.rce [at] gmail.com

I had similar problem until I hook it up to a battery. After that all is working fine for me. I also found that it won't work properly if the polarity isn't right. Double check that, as I went over and over mine and found I wasn't right. Also when you are checking all connections undue all connections to reset the controller and all will work fine if all the right connections are made. I've had mine working for about 6 months.

Thanks for checking. I was thinking more to leave one of these units in Europe for non-techy relatives (e.g. older relatives who won't boot up skype to talk to me) But, they're bringing these out in "Q1 2007" in europe supposedly so I guess I'll just wait to avoid the hassle of plugging it into a converter. Thanks again for checking though and taking the time to post.
