I have just a Microcoin GBA ST2 Bill Acceptor that is interfaced through RS232. The Company gave me an emulator that I can try my Device with, but My problem is I should not use it for my on-design System,

I need help on how to power-up the validator/acceptor using COM Port commands in vb.net,
Since it is disabled when I supply power to the acceptor, only through the Emulator of the company I can make it enabled.

I was wondering if somebody can help with this problem, how to power-up the bill Validator using the .net project..Because my system is created in VB.Net.

Please any one with experience in connecting the bill acceptors please give a comment,,,

Thanks in advance
