    The USB is Belkin F5U109 and I installed the driver from the disc provided. The foor pedal has no identification on it...sorry, but I purchased it used and did not get any info about it.

  • m_woodson01 Apr 09, 2009

    Okay, I have followed these directions...still no operation. :(

    I have contacted the seller in hopes they can give me some insight.

    Thank you for your assistance..If I EVER resolve this, I will post the fix.

    Thanks again.

Sounds like you need to install drivers.
Tell me the manufacturer and model number of the foot pedal. I'll track down a driver for it.

    Oh...and I'll need the model number of the USB to RS-232 adapter!

  • Anonymous Apr 09, 2009

    You say it works on a neighbor's computer, does he use an adapter like you, or does he have a serial port (db9) on his laptop?



    One thing you can do is find another serial device and try using it thru your Belkin Adapter...see if connunication can be established.



    and I have one more thing for you...

    the following is the first page of the F5U109 Windows XP Installation

    If the adapter was partially installed or was plugged in before this

    installation, Please follow the uninstall instructions first or the installation

    will not work.

  • Anonymous Apr 09, 2009

    This link will take you to uninstall and reinstall instructions...



    http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/f...



    This is most likely the problem.



    Let me know if it helps or not...if not we may have a "breakout" issue.

    Cool...I'm glad you got it solved.

The FS 85 is obsolete. I am not sure if it can be adapted to usb but there is a USB version of that foot pedal, the Sony FS-85USB Foot Control.

Details are sketchy but the highest compatibility is Windows XP and driver software isn't mentioned by I would be surprised if it would function without an installed driver...

Wireless Zero configuration is a utility that connects your computer to a wireless network.

If Wireless Zero configuration is not enabled, the following message will appear: "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection."

Note: If you have the Belkin utility installed, you'll need to change the Program Choice in the Options tab so the Windows XP Utility is selected.

Have you got two wireless icons down on the right by the clock. As it may be using the belkin wireless manager to control the device rather than the windows version.
