If you look at the orange cable, you will see that it comes apart at the DB9 connector. Take it apart at that connector.
One half is a USB to serial converter and the other half is a serial to RJ-11 cable.
The mounting hardware on the DB9 forced us to use a standard (straight through), M-F, DB9, serial extension cable (IFI P/N CABLE-DB9-6FT-MF) between the computer's serial port and the orange cable's DB9.
Make sure that the IFI_Loader software is configured to the proper port. In our case it was COM1.
It worked like a charm...

When I tried to use my RJ11 to Serial cable, the loader couldn't find the controller. It said "No programming board found". I tried to switch the COM ports, but still it couldn't find anything.
Any suggestions?
