I need a convertor to go from my usb port to the 1st controller on my display. My old one has been accidently destroyed :) Anyone know where I can get this last piece of my puzzle on such short notice?

Guess I should elaborate a little.......Ive had a SC485-RJ45 Serial Adapter and a USB Serial Adaptor on order from LOR for a week. My order has been pending all week. Called numerous time and not recieved anything but the answering machine.

I understand they are extremley busy so I emailed them asking them to cancel my order.

Now I just need to find the above from somewhere else! Soon!

I ordered one on Monday 11/14, shipped Tue 11/15, will arrive via UPS today 11/18.

You shouldn't have canceled. No one else sells it.

I would encourrage you to stay with the lor brand.

BUT the adapter is rather standard. You need a rs485 adapter. Lots of places sell them.

I believe LOR is half duplex, but I think you can use a full duplex adapter by tying the A&B lines together.

If you have a high end CCTV / Security supply store near you, RS485 is comon to PTZ Camera control.

Hopefully you got what you needed, BUT - "trendnet.tu2-etg" appears to be a gigabit ethernet adapter... not sure how you came up with that.

Thats got usb at one end and Cat 5 at the other, but thats NOT RS485. If you bought an ethernet adapter, you got hte wrong thing.

Doogy,

In your other post I stated that LOR network is NOT ethernet protocol. LOR uses RS485 protocol. IF you connect your controllers to an ethernet network you risk damage to your controllers. This has been reported by others in times past.

You need one of the adapters from LOR.
