I have the 4 pin cable (borrowed it from service mgr), I am running software on a laptop and trying to connect to a John Deere 892E. What are the COM port settings on my computer supposed to be to communicate with a John Deere or Hitachi excavator? Baud Rate, Stop Bits, Start Bits, Flow Control and parity? Thanks for any info.

It depends on what port you have the cable plugged into on the computer. Click on com at the top of the page when software is open and see what ports are listed .Try each one till you fine the one that works.

I know my COM port, I don’t know the baud rate, and other port settings. Thx
The software I was running, doesnt appear to like Win10 as my OS (or the USB to Serial adapter). I used a win7 computer and it connected up fine with the same COM port settings.

Windr or MPDR will run fine windows xp and windows 7. I will not work on window 10 I know that for sure .

Supper Thread thanks all for the info.

Could someone send me the software for PC? Also as the unit is I expect CAN do someone finds RX and TX location in the plug as I have a serial to USB adaptor all ready.

I have a zx130lnc and would love any shop manual also with all the wiring diagrams etc.
