Im am having troubles comunicating with my cnc turning center i have a hyundai hit8 with the seimans 840c control and have it direct hook up to my pc, i use bobcad software for prgraming and predator that came with it, what are the general settings i have to put forth on both ends (lathe and computer) to get data to send over

(Data for XON/XOFF is not applicable)
Leader Trailer: No
Ready: Yes
Stop At: End Char
End of Block: CRLF
Time out: 60 {determines how much time you have after pressing OK (seconds)}
Trans Format: Punch Tape Format

Scroll down to "User" Directory
Press "Input"
