We tried several different configurations. 1. RS232 cable from the OES distro box to the Xpression computer using COM 1 and COM3 - no luck 2. RS232 cable from the OES ISC9000 box to the xpression computer using COM 1 and COM3 - no luck 3. We tried a RS232 cable we know works (OES distro box to crossfire and tested that it works) from the OES ISC9000 box to the xpression computer using using COM1 and COM3 - no luck Would a serial to USB adapter work? If so, what are the setting for that? [#XPression](https://livinglive.community/search?s=tags%3A%22XPression%22&executesearch=true) ---

The settings would be the same. The USB-serial adapter is just a way of adding a serial port to your PC. [#XPression](https://livinglive.community/search?s=tags%3A%22XPression%22&executesearch=true) ---

we would use COM1 or COM3 still? [#XPression](https://livinglive.community/search?s=tags%3A%22XPression%22&executesearch=true) ---

You need to use the COM# that is assigned to the port you are using. I can’t tell you which number that is without looking at your device manager and figuring out what port is assigned to whatever Com ports you have active. You can’t just assume it’s going to COM1 or COM3. Your PC will assign the Com Port# to the serial port. It’s COM3 on turnkey XPression systems because we set the serial port to be COM3. On newer XPression systems it’s COM1, because we assign the serial port device to be COM1. [#XPression](https://livinglive.community/search?s=tags%3A%22XPression%22&executesearch=true) ---

It always works better for us when we use a null modem cable/adapter in between the expression and OES score clock. Otherwise I just see blank data in the datalinq server. [#XPression](https://livinglive.community/search?s=tags%3A%22XPression%22&executesearch=true) ---

Just a heads up: We use the Tissot system which I assume outputs an OES output (since we didn’t have to change setup when we switched to Tissot) HOWEVER, we ran across a problem and Brian Ford helped me out. Here is the discussion and how we fixed it.
