Hello friends I have a problem with Cat Comm2 RP1210, I?m trying again and again to conect with ECM machine through communicator+Serial cable+Serial-USB Adaptor and I Can?t. I have installed ET2009C, and I checked the baud rates, the com1 port settings, I installed the right serial to USB drivers and software, I uninstalled all hardware to avoid conflict with com1 port and still nothing, don?t work. Also I tried to update via flash the firmware of communicator with file CA2v3i1.0.apf and the process iniciate well but at the end I obtain the message 'Flash was unsuccessful' 'Error 0 '. How Can I solve this situation?
Any Suggestion? I have XP-SP3 full updated. Thank you in advance.

Any Suggestion? I have XP-SP3 full updated. Thank you in advance If you are using a serial to usb it can take some trouble to setup. Some usb to serial adaptors wont work with ET.
Sometimes you have to use com3 port. Best you go to the help section in ET and follow the directions.Sometimes you may have to go into the computer BIOS and reset ports.

Good Morning mozzie thanks for your attention, I do it everything that to say and don?t work. I tried with COM3, I bought and tried with another Serial-USB adaptor, I read and I do all that the help section in ET say, reset port, change Bios and nothing? I tried in my Desktop with ET2009C, XP-SP3 but connecting the serial cable directly to desktop and IT?S WORKS.
The problems is When I going to connect in the USB port through Serial-USB adaptor. I thought that I need to update the firmware of my communicator flashing it with file CA2v3i1.0.apf and the process iniciate well but at the end I obtain the message 'Flash was unsuccessful' 'Error 0 ', and now I have another problem because the communicator don?t connect even with my desktop????? My new strategy is trying to flash the communicator in another desktop with XP-SP2 and if this works try to connect through USB port in this PC.
Any corrections, new strategy or help will be well received Thank you again Usaman. Good Morning mozzie thanks for your attention, I do it everything that to say and don?t work.

CAT Communication Adapter 3 (III) has been upgraded! CAT Adapter 3 The tried and true CAT Adapter 3 (Also know as the CAT Comm III) adapter that is manufactured by Caterpillar has been upgraded.
The old part number, 317-7484, has now been replaced by part number 466-6258. We took this opportunity to try and find out what has changed with this new adapter. The first thing we did is buy one, and open up the box. The box itself appears to be the exact same, and there are no changes that can be noticed. Here is what the inside looks like.
The only difference between the “old” and “new” CAT Comm III kits At first glance, we assumed this was a standard 6-pin and 9-pin cable. However, upon closer inspection we noticed that this cable is a 14-pin cable and 9-pin cable. The only other time we’ve seen a 14-pin cable has been on the Volvo equipment, so this is a bit different. It would make us believe that CAT has some dash connector changes coming up on new equipment, which required the change in the cable. Now that we know the differences, we headed to the CAT Intranet site (yes, we have access to this), and did a little web surfing. After looking up everything we could, we can find absolutely no documentation regarding the adapter change. There appears to be now difference in anything on this page, as you can see here.
CAT ET Service Tools Website screen shot There is a CAT Comm III Download section, so we checked that out. It hasn’t been updated since October 2013. CAT also hasn’t released anything in the “News and Announcements” section for almost a year. With everything we’ve looked at, our conclusion is that the CAT part # 317-7484 appears to be the exact same thing as before, with the exception of the new cable. Well, that and they raised the price $250 or so I’m sure we will learn more about the new adapter ends in the near future, but for now it appears that CAT has not made anything publically available. If you are looking to purchase a CAT Adapter 3 kit,. They are available to US & Canada customers only.
