Topset 2.0 and Topfield 7700 HSCI

[jeivi2]

I have installed on my computer TOPSET 2.0. I have tried to connect my Topfield 7700 HSCI to my PC by USB 2.0 Cable. When I open the Topset 2.0 and “Read settings from receiver” the program says “Waiting for request. Please reboot the receiver”. I reboot the receiver but can not connect to my receiver. I have installed the Necessary USB - Driver for the Topfield Receiver but impossible. ¿What is the solution?

Thank you,,

you have to use a zero modem cable. (you have to change on topset the board too)
the usb board is a master board....for usb stick or harddisk.

Do not use USB connection. Use Nullmodem cable for RS 232.

Thank you, but my notebook haven´t rs232 port, only usb ports. Is possible a conection between rs232 (topfield) to usb (notebook)?

Use USB-RS 232 adapter cable + Nullmodem cable together.

Just curious:

What cable you used for that? That should not be possible using standard cables available on the market

And, using a handcrafted cable is not a good idea, both sides now are supplying the 5 Volts and so the power supplys are fighting each other... (you own a good fire extinguisher? )

And what's with this one? This is a "host to host"-cable! Originaly it is for a Technisat, for example! Is it possible to use this on a Topfield too?

[Julian]

Nope, that is not a cable but a communication device that connects to two PC using USB.
It requires special Software on both PC to do useful work.
And that software does not exist for a Topfield


And: it is USB v1.1 and therfore painfully slow!

Hi, I have bought a USB-RS 232 adapter cable + Nullmodem cable together. When I connect the cable on my PC, is detected "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM 9)". Now I open TOPSET 2.0 and going to TOOLS/OPTIONS/CONNECTION and I put Use Serial /Connection COM PORT: COM 9

Now I'm going to FILE and <Read setting from receiver> and START, then...."Waiting for request. Please reboot the receiver." I reboot the receiver but nothing. I'm desperate....

PLease HELP ME¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

THANK YOU FROM SPAIN

But it works with a Technisat DigiCorder S2...! Thats wy i thought it could be a solution for a topfield with "host to host" usb too!

You must see in PC equipment manager-ports COM and LPT : PROFILIC USB-to-Serial COM port (COM 3) after connecting of USB-RS 232 adapter cable.

Of course in Top set 2.00 must be set in Connections: Serial and COM 3.

For fw ...84 must be used new version Top set 2.00 to find here in board.

I have not tried (and failed)...
So there is a chance, but my optimism is low, there would be no Logic behind

That Technisat: have you seen it running? out of the box? or was there some kind of 'TAP' involved? Or is that a Linux based box?

Your picture doesn't show a nullmodem-cable, look at reichelt.de and search for "AK143", that's
what you need together with the usb-rs232-adapter .

I saw it live on television, but it was not a fw-update, it was a filetransfer! On this page you can see the description for this! But i don't no, if it could work on a topfield too, because of the special technisat-software named "mediaport" you would need for this...!

ot: Sorry for my very poor english...! :oops:

[Twilight]

a zero modem cable can made by youself: pin connection 2 to 3, 3to 2 and 5 to 5

So the Firmware of the Technisat is aware of that Gadget and their version of 'altair' (Mediaport) is written to use it.

So it would work on a Topfield in case
1) Topfield would build in the support in their Firmware or
2) the 7x series would have a Tap API so that one of our FW gurus could implement it.

I would not hold my breath until that happens!
