  • Answer:

    I don't know much about FTA, but you just need serial port, right? Then go to your computer store and buy a USB to Serial port. After to plug that into your computer, let the computer install the driver needed. After that, go into Devices Manager to see which COM port that new device took so that you can use it to setup in connection with your FTA thingy when needed. Then, connect your serial cable from that USB to Serial convertion to your FTA thingy.
