Hello,

Our office had a TVS50 paired with a TA624 system. The TVS50 died on us. Not sure of the problem. I obtained a refurbed TVS50 and need to set it up. I tried to follow the directions here:

However I could not get communication to work through the null modem cable. I think it is the fact that I am using a PC that does not have a serial port, but tried a IOGear GUC232 USB to serial cable. I know the guide listed above saya that the USB cable will not work, but I thought I'd still give it a try. Are there any tricks to using a USB-RS232 converter cable?

I guess I will have to find a PC with a serial port, right?

I want to set up the system as a simple answering machine to leave messages.

Any other guides or tips would be appreciated. I am not an experienced installer, but an IT person in our company.

Mike
