If you are having problems with the installation of a serial Zigbee on PC using Robotis ZigBee serial interface you will eventually find out that the whole thing won't power up.
The ZigBee serial interface requires +5V to be on pin 9 of your computers serial port. This might not be the case, when using a newer computer since this is considered obselete and is therefore no longer provided by computer manufacturers.
Make sure your PC meets this requirement and everything will be A-OK!
if not, try using a third party serial extension board or try applying the required voltage externally or use another computer.
