HAAS VF-2 DNC PROBLEM
I’ve been trying to send/receive information to and from my haas vf-2 using windows xp via RS232. The software I’m using is just the trial version of connectcnc with the following settings…

Parameter 57 is at 1 (for enable dnc)
When I send the file, (txt or nc), it sends it from the computer but the haas doesn’t receive, it just still says “waiting” on the screen. When I try and receive a file from the haas, it says it sends it okay, but I’m always awaiting the file to be received on the computer end.
I just bought a brand new serial port cable from radio shack that is 9pins on one end and 25 pins on the other. I’ve double checked that all the parameters and settings are correct.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Does the haas vf-2 read .txt & .dnc files?
Could it be the software?
