Processor and Download

I need to download a backup of my lighting program from the processor in the image at the below link:

http://1drv.ms/1LqeLqs

There is a female rs232 female connection under com link 3 on the left side of the image.

On the right bottom side of the image there is a rs232 male connection under com link 5 on the bottom.

I have a few questions:

1) Do I plug into link 3 on the left or link 5 on the right?

2) When I plug in do I need to turn the processor off?

3) Will a usb to rs232 cord work as my computer only has usb?

Thanks.

degmsb01,

You are able to connect to link 3 or 7. You do not need to turn the power off when connecting with the RS232 connection. You will be able to use a USB-to-RS232 cable as long as the drivers are properly installed for the cable. If the drivers are not installed or not installed correct then the USB-to-RS232 cable may have issues communicating.
