hello satling ws6006 2021 data dump .bin file please
Do you have the opportunity to createSorry - I have not created a dump.bin file since the 2018 version which you can find in Post #52
The cable you received with your WS6906 obviously had a built in chipset in the serial end of the cable otherwise it wouldn’t recognise the USB to serial connection. I assume that the serial end of that cable connector was female. You then purchased another usb to serial cable with another chipset and joined the male end of the serial connector to the female end of the included cable so you could complete an end to end usb connection between meter and PC. Mind boggling.W.r.t connecting a 6906 to a PC without a "real" serial port, I used one of these UGreen USB->RS232 converter cables plugged into a PC USB port and then plugged that cable into the cable from the 6906 - I.e. PC USB->RS232 converter-> 6906 USB port (ridiculous isn't it!)
That worked and I was able to download the bin file from the 6906 and save it on the PC, and also reload that to the 6906 after locking it - can't remember much more about the process because it's been several years since I did that!
I’ve a number of serial to USB adapters here, all with male 9 pin connectors. I’ll try getting a gender changer and see if that works.IIRC, the PC recognized the combined 2x cables & converters as a Comm port (with number) and then Win 10 worked that.
Never tried a USB flash key, and not sure if that would work because the PC had to issue commands to make the 6906 upload/download the files
I bought ws-6906 want to load software update on it can't find the right software
Ingles por favor senor!buenas soy nuevo en esto. como pre un finder satlin ws-6906 pero tengo que actualizarlo me podrían orientar como hacerlo. gracias
What are you trying to achieve. All you need to do is select the relevant satellite your dish is pointed at and select scan. Just grab the manual here. It will explain what you need to know SATLINK WS-6906 | ManualzzOkay.. I know this is an oldish thread and has a lot of good info about doing an upgrade to the WS-6906, but I am still confused. (I'm from Florida!)
I was playing around with my WS-6906 and set it to "Default", losing my TV Program. I did the same thing in the past, but I don't remember how I resolved it. I have no cable but probably did in the past. It must of got lost. I probably had an old computer back then with a RS232/DB9 serial port.
Anyway..
I have the loader software and the .bin file, but I am confused about the cables. I purchased a USB to DB9 (male) cable. It did not come with software, but when I plugged it in, Windows 11 recognized it as "USB to Serial Port (COM 6 ) " . Now my computer has a RS232/DB9 serial port. So exactly what else do I need to connect to the USB of 6906? Something to convert it back the other way and a null adapter??
Would a USB to USB null cable work?
Any help would be appreciated.
I wouldn’t waste the time and energy pursuing the workings of this meter. SD broadcasts only, It doesn’t like sunlight either. Impossible to see the screen. Unless you possess the original serial to USB cable it will be impossible to upload the firmware file. Believe me I tried it. I’m just curious to know what happens when you press the Menu buttonBTW: just to make this quite clear (and probably isn't needed!) I haven't used my WS-6906 for at least 5 years and have completely forgotten how to use it! - so please don't ask me any questions on that meter!
TBH: I've just realised that I'm not even sure where it is or if it still works
