Good afternoon everyone. I have an ACS 509R8 that I'm trying to access by PC over the Admin port.

I've set the remote password.

I have a new install of Win 7 Professional, 32-bit with the PL2303 Serial-USB drivers installed. It does see it as a comm port (Comm 2). Settings are 9600/8/N/1.

I have Avaya PC Administration 8.0.0.4 installed and it does run. I can connect to the ACS and it comes back with the Enter Password box.

The problem I'm having - it doesn't do anything with the password. It eventually times out.

I'm using a Cat-5 cable that checks out ok. The RJ-45 to DB-9, probably ok. I know. It was made back in the day and I no longer have the pinout diagram to check it. I'm pretty sure I used it back in the Win XP/7 days to connect to the ACS.

I'm hoping someone can lend some insight into what might be going on.

Thank you.

Jim
