[QUOTE="Marsellus Fariss, post: 3952, member: 1107"] I scored a couple of the older green BSS Soundwebs and am trying to program them but the Sound Designer software keeps saying "preparing to go online" and then "Soundweb could not find a device on the network" Here's what I've tried so far... Two different RS232/RS485 adapters. Two different 9088ii's Three different PC's with two different OS's Multiple baud rates, com ports and addresses. The only thing left to try is to build a cable and try the front 232 port. I read in my travels that perhaps if the units where being controlled by one of the aftermarket controllers that they wold be programmed to answer only the front port. Today I took the units to work where we use a rs232 adapter to talk down the snake system to our XTA DSP's. This was to eliminate any potential problems concerning the adapter, OS, or PC. Everything worked like clockwork when talking to the XTA's. I fire up and connect the 9088's and Sound Designer can't find any units on the network. I went directly from the USB port through the adapter to the 9088ii's rear port. So I guess I'll try hacking up an S-video cable and building a front port dongle. Ideas? [/QUOTE]
