Connecting Azbox with USB2Serial cable

[shklifo]

Have somebody try to connect azbox to the PC with a Usb2serial cable/converter?
I got one and have tried, but no luck till now. I've just connect the azbox TX and RX (first and last one) to the 2 and 3 hole of the serial female but still no possibilities to connect.
I'm missing something? Maybe connecting GDN (ground) too?

Here (https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showpost.php?p=713390&postcount=1123) you got the post from @telesat with schemes for max232.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks,

The problem was the USB converter, as i wrote on another forum.
It's a USB2RS232 converter and can't convert TTL levels.
Just to rembember that serial devices (like serial port of computers or
modems) that are using serial RS232 standard (Recommended Standard 232)
use generally -12V and +12V to drive the signals.
And the UART's logic levels (or TTL logic levels) are using 0 and +5V (VCC) for
trasmitting signals.
So i need a usb2serial like that shown down to successfully connect to Azbox:
