Bob,
The DB9 connector goes from the ACC1 port on the Omni VII to the port (looks
like a RJ-45) marked “Radio" on the SignaLink USB. There is also on the
SignaLink a port marked “USB” (female data socket) between which a usb cable
runs from it to the computer. If I connect the USB cable to the Optiplex
computer, HFD works. If I connect the USB cable to the NanoPC, it does not. I
am not using a USB hub.
