    Default Tech2 handheld to PC connection need pinout

    Hello Guys, I need some help to connect my Tech2 to my PC. I did try many ways with the cables I have... I think some of them belong to my OTC so probably I do not have the right cable to pair my device.

    I have the SERIAL cable OTC503897 OTC 3421-08 Genisys Scan Tool to PC RS232 Cable
    RS232 DB 9-pin to RJ-45


    How can I make my own cable using an RS232 9 PIN and a RJ45?

    I have the rs232, rj45, cable but need the pinout..

    Does anyone have the software that connect tech2 to PC to upgrade or download? Maybe the problem is that I'm using the same soft that I used before with my Mac Mentor (otc)..


    Thanks!!!

    Axel

    We use an old Snap-On Brick printer cable MT2500-400
    to a generic serial-usb adapter. It's RJ11 (?) is 2 pins narrower than the RJ45 (?) port on Tech2 (bottom of 2 on left), but works perfectly. Sometimes need to fuss with port settings for the adapter driver, not a big deal.

    Use a rs 232-usb converter, the right one I use everyday with Tech2 and PC is something like that
    USB 2.0 to 9 pin RS232 COM Port Serial Convert Adapter - eBay (item 320451485139 end time Sep-15-10 20:28:04 PDT)
