Download the latest drivers for your Nokia CA-42 USB Modem to keep your Computer up-to-date. Mar 26, 2011 This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of Windows and ArkMicro USB to Serial Ports. ArkMicro USB to Serial Ports was created by ArkMicro. - I know that DKU-2, CA-53 y DKE-2 are like usb cable but that CA-42 is cable serie (serial port) so i think that Vista don't recognize the emulator of serial port.

Chip controllers this nokia CA-42 clone cable has ARK3116 chip and is detected as 'USB to UART' or 'ArkMicro USB to UART' with Vendor ID (VID) 6547 and Product ID (PID) 0232 (on windows 7 64bit at least - but no drivers for win7 here) ArkMicro Technologies, Inc.
Has drivers for win xp (32bit at least), but none for windows 7 64bit (and probably not for 32bit either, and likely not for vista either, but maybe yes for win2k) Be advised, I used these with puttytel.exe on 57600 rate on win xp 32bit and after a short while (few minutes) I got blue scree. N aka BSOD with BUGCODEUSB or something similar had to reboot (or shutdown laptop then start it again).

Installed the driver and utility from the Serial Recovery Wiki. Going of another thread here I suspect that the wires in the cable are as follows: Red-3.3v Black-Ground Blue-Rx White-Tx Yellow-not used However the cable itself does not provide any power so I used the phone splitter method I found here. Hooked up the red cable to match up to the 3V3 pad on the router for power and twisted the blue and white just to test out the prolific drivers from the wiki. I tried the USB device viewer but neither it or windows seems to think there is a connection. I spent almost 2 whole days trying to read information to get this working and its not working.
Can some one help me out here? Sponsor evrycard DD-WRT User Joined: 09 Mar 2011 Posts: 152 Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 7:55 Post subject: I don't think the driver is good in win7x64.

Best thing for you is XP. Icehacker DD-WRT Novice Joined: 16 May 2011 Posts: 45 Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 10:40 Post subject: use xp mode or vmware. If its arkmicro this is the driver i use but its not very stable with sp1 and sometimes gives bosd.

The colours of the wires are completely arbitrary. Read the wiki on serial recovery, and note the picture with the proper pinouts from the end of the connector that you cut off.

Never used one before.
I know its been said you can find the ground by measuring the ohms with a multimeter set to 220 OHM. I measured all the wires. Black is the only wire to give a reading, and when i touch the red wire, and hold it to the positive lead my Win 7 PC actually recognized the cable.
In my uneducated guess, I believe this means the colors listed above are correct. PrimPast DD-WRT User Joined: 15 Nov 2010 Posts: 286 Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 19:44 Post subject: You don't have to break open the end piece.

Check for continuity with a multimeter between the end that you cut off and each of the wires on the cut off piece. Then compare the wire colour to the picture linked to in the wiki. That will tell you which each wire is for, and which is tx, rx, and ground. You can google how to use a multimeter.

How else can you tell which wire runs to which pin if you dont crack open the end? If I understand, your saying simply combine the wires back together, and test the pins, but again how is this of use? Isnt it much easier to simply test the wires?

You should have cut it off leaving enough wire so that you could test which colour wire goes to each terminal in the wide flat end. Then, once you know which goes to tx, which goes to rx, and which goes to ground, you will know where to attach each wire colour on your router. If you try doing it from the computer end of the cable, how are you going to tell which signal is which and what the values are supposed to be?
You DID read the wiki AND look at the linked pinout picture, right?

Reading and comprehending are two different things. I have read it over and over and over. Quote: If you try doing it from the computer end of the cable, how are you going to tell which signal is which and what the values are supposed to be? Well, I am just guessing but test each wire.
If you ground out the negative prong of the meter, and tap the ground wire, you get no voltage reading. The multimeter is will provide power and then give a 3.3V reading on the power wire.
All thats left is finding rx,tx and the extra useless wire. DoesItMatter DD-WRT Guru Joined: 10 May 2008 Posts: 1373 Location: Pacific North West, USA Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 20:43 Post subject: Wrong unfortunately, the multimeter does NOT provide power.
To test the cable, you have to plug it into the USB port of the computer. You DO NOT need drivers to test power. Pick one of the wires and attach the black multimeter lead to it. Touch the red multimeter lead to the other wires one at a time. If there is no signal, then you may be on the RX line. Find the combo that shows +3V or -3V If it shows +3 volts, then the red multimeter is touching the TX line and the black multimeter is touching the ground line.
That leaves your other line as RX. If you have 4 lines to test, have to guess at RX and unused line. But to test these, you HAVE to plug that CA-42 into a live USB port. And you can use a USB hub if you want also, as long as its powered. Soylent Green Is People!
