Saving receiver setup information?

[cybersonic]

I've programmed a lot of TP settings in my receiver, and I am wondering if there is a way to get information from the receiver transferred to a PC for backup purposes (so I can then move it back to the receiver if that would ever need to be reset). I have a DB9 female serial connection on the receiver.

If that is possible indeed, do I need a simple DB9male (for the receiver side) to DB9female (for the PC side) serial cable? Or does this need to be null modem cable?

Thx,
Chris.
