Is there a 9 pin male connector on the back of your box?
if so you need a female to female null modem cable, available from ebay, just make sure that you get a null modem cable rather than a straight through serial cable.

Sorry billy, I have just realised that they only have 4 pins on the back of your box. I think you'll have to get soldering and make your own cable.

You have created two threads on the same subject if you want to make your own cable see your earlier post here. there are some pictures to show you how to make the cable.
