No null modem cable needed.? Here are the steps that I know that
work.
1) Open toolbox.
2) Select Tools/SystemInfo.
3) Select Address book in lower left corner of the window.
4) Select the preinstalled ML600 address in the address book and
click OK.
5) Download the ML600 file though the project download section of
the SystemInfo dialog box.
If you still cannot connect, make sure the address box is set to the
right comport for your RS232 adaptor.? Other thing to check is under
"Advanced Device Detection", make sure it is not on automatic -- you
want to select *ML-600.?
I have a lot of clients that love these remotes so there isn't a
week that I am not downloading something to one of them.? But I am
also using a 6 month old version of Toolbox (v3.03.236) to do it.? I
heard there are a lot of issues with the latest version of toolbox.?
Good luck,
Steve

I've got Toolbox 3.03.332 and it won't connect to the
ML-600.? I'm guessing either a bad (incompatible) USB to
serial adapter or I need a null modem adapter in the middle.
Thanks guys,
Geoff
I thought the ML was removed from
Toolbox a few revisions back, but must be thinking of
something else.? I just fired Toolbox and connected an
older ML that has been put out of commission and was
able to connect.? I am running version 3.05.116

I'm trying to setup a replacement
ML-600 for my parents (their old one has a few
buttons that are no longer working well).? The
remote works fine to control their system out of the
box, but I need to upload the program to get the
custom labels for the 2 rows of buttons at the top
to show the correct labels.? I'm using a USB to
Serial adapter, set to 115200 baud in Windows and
the RS-232 cable that came with the replacement
remote, but I can't seem to get the PC and remote to
talk with each other.? Is my recollection correct
that I need to select Upload Project in VTPro and
select the RS-232 device in my address book that is
configured as a ML-600?? I've got a 2nd RS-232 cable
with me, but no luck with that either.? I'm trying
to verify if my procedure is wrong or if my USB to
serial adapter may be the more likely culprit...
Getting my parents to update to a
more modern remote is unlikely because learning
something new seems to be a challenge for them
lately...
