    If you cannot contact to your box check your null modem cable. Connections are like showen below

    pin 2 ...to... pin 3
    pin 3 ...to... pin 2
    pin 4 ...to... pin 6
    pin 5 ...to... pin 5
    pin 6 ...to... pin 4
    pin 7 ...to... pin 8
    pin 8 ...to... pin 7

    Important: Go into device manager and check that you are choosing the right com port. If possible use computer with serial com port build on mainbord.

    I'm experiencing the same exact problem for some damn reason. I've tried about everything I and darcu could think of. Not sure what to do anymore.
