in FLEX-8000 Signature Series

I've been using the Flex 8600M for a few days now. It's used to control a symmetrical semi-automatic antenna tuner. Its controller requires a connection to the 8600 via the RS-232 serial port. I connected a USB-RS232 adapter, but it doesn't appear in the USB Cables menu. Is there an alternative way to have the ATU read the frequency from the Flex 8600M and tune the antenna?

    The cable has to be a genuine FTDI USB cable. Clones or other vendor cables will not work.
