TIS2000 ERROR E666

Tried but failed:

installed it standalone also server database . many times but no use

 

Tried successfully:

need a New-Different “Safe” cable if you using USB —-> RS232…..

make sure the cable is a rs-232 and not a rs232c

 

To set COM port.
—> under CONFIGURATION>I/O MANAGEMENT>TECH2>PROPERTIES.

NOTE:

Normal TIS2000 software that comes with it requires a USB security dongle. Go figure. TIS2000 is COM yet the security is USB. This REALLY screws up things sometimes.

If you do need the dongle and don’t have one, it will come with error E666
