raymondes Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hello again! So after a long while of procrastination and shipping time I finally recieved my DKU-5 cable in the mail yesterday. After a couple hours of research I got the wires figured out. Now the only hurdle I have before I connect up to is finding a driver that will work for the cable. Here is the situation. 1. Downloaded and installed Nokia DKU5 Driver. 2. Connected up the DKU5 Cable. 3. Windows said no driver was found for "USB to UART Adapter" This is where I am stuck. Please Help me. P.S. How would I go about connecting to the fon after I get the cable working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 My nokia CA-42 cable uses the Prolific pl-2303, a very popular USB->serial chip, it might be inside yours too. For some reason the latest drivers from the Prolific website ( http://www.prolific.com.tw/Eng/downloads.asp?ID=31 ) don't work with my cable, so here's the old driver I'm currently using: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qsmsch If that doesn't work, you should try to find out what particular chip your cable is using and get drivers for it. And if it works, just connect the cable to the tx and rx pins accordingly, and the ground wire (which will be the cable's shielding probably) to the ground pin of the router (otherwise you'll get garbage). Use putty or hyperterminal to open the connection, and that's it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whig Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Any idea is it possible to get DKU-2 (USB cable) work with Fon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Unfortunately, no. The cable has to be a USB to serial adapter (like DKU-5 or CA-42), the DKU-2 is just a USB cable with a different connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to get that work? It has serial connector on one end and connector for Nokia Communicator 9200 on other end. http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-Nokia/nok...10_pinout.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 You have to check the voltage levels of the rx and tx pins of the connector, they must be 3,3V. The serial port of a PC works at 12V, which would damage the router when connected directly, if the cable doesn't decrease the voltage it cannot be used.

digininja Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I've only used pl2303 devices so can't comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
