I am new to the list and I acquired a c139. I'd
like to buy a rs232/jack
2,5mm named t191 flash (and not unlock) cable. They look 100% the same (even
stickers). Is this important? I understand that I have also to use a
rs232/usb adapter. The one I have (U232P9 with link/tx/rx leds) gives +/-9,4
v. So my concern is to not fry the Moto..Any advise welcome.
if you put a usb/rs232 converter and then a rs232/2.5mm cable behind each
other, there should be no problem, at least not voltage-wise. The usb/rs232
converter cable with DB-9 will up-convert to +/- 9V, and the T191 cable
with DB-9 will then down-convert again to 3.3V
In case of any doubt, simply use a multimeter to verify. RS323 is low-active,
i.e. in idle state the lines are at their highest voltage.
