Have been trying to find the thread where someone had recommended DB9 to USB converters that actually work
Was wondering if anyone can name one that does
I know using some converters, Tecom System have been known to default there locations etc.
Require one for a newer laptop with no DB9 to program a range of panels
Look Here -> |

I tested about half a dozen converters and found that the one that worked without a hitch with all the panels and serial devices was the Belkin F5U109.
This is a not bad one. work ok for me. and its cheap enough.
I use this converter on Tecom, Inner Range and NX panels. Never had a problem.
Got mine from CSD, its a little on the expensive side however, it has worked on everything that I have thrown at it!
-Nurse call, PABX, paging systems, loads of alarm panels, serial printers, fire panels... the list goes on.
There are also TX and RX LEDs, not many of the converters have this feature, I find it extremly helpful when troubleshooting comms issues.

Thanks guys for your input appreciate your time & comments
Hi Porop we had a tech using a converter and whenever he got ouit of programming on a Tecom it lost all its users etc, we eventually found that was the cause, our older laptops with DB9s never had this problem just bad luck I guess, I dont think the drivers were ever looked at
Hi Guys found we had one of these in one of our goodies boxes used to be used to interface to a PDA I think do you need special drivers for this as buggered if I know where they are
find drivers will see what happens

Yeah I found the belkin one the best. It's what I use.
Do you need a driver for Windows 7?
I used the driver in the link below on my W7 64 bit system and works ok.
Otherwise try one listed here
I also find this a very strange comment anyway try DAS the part number is S1872A.
i have the earlier version of this, works with plc's and all other serial devices i have tried, plug and play with win7!
Just been looking at the chipset in the USB to serial converter, it's made by FTDI.
Im assuming that this chipset would be used in lots of other converter on the market. Im sure Dick Smith wouldnt mind you pulling appart a USB-Serial just to check the chipset... give it a go!
I have never had any issues with FTDI, Philips or Prolific chipsets. It's the cheap brands that don't like to play ball with some of the legacy systems out there.
