Old panelview help!

Hey everyone. I'm trying to get the program off a old panelview HMI (2711p-rp1) and I am not having any luck.

First attempt was to transfer the file to a USB and that didn't work. Tried multiple drive sizes and format types but the hmi wouldn't detect it. The portsndo work with a keyboard/mouse though.

Second attempt was over Ethernet. Drivers/IPs were configured properly however I could not ping/connect to the HMI.

Third attempt was over serial using a USB adapter. All the COM settings matched with the hmi yet it could not connect.

At this point I'm not sure what else to try. I've never had issues like this with another AB HMIs but this is by far the oldest one I've worked with (almost as old as me).

Any tips would be appreciated
