[Hai-users] Serial Port - Aegis 2000/OmniPro

[Byron Peebles]

I am attempting to work on an Aegis 2000 with 1.9a dealer software.

The hardware in question has the main board and a separate
Expansion Enclosure.  The main unit has a single serial board
mounted on standoffs.  I have a serial cable attached to the DB9 on that card.

When I attempt to connect from a laptop through the serial card, I have the
top (of three) light steady and the lowest (of three) flickers when it sees the
first characters from the ONLINE or CONNECT LOCALLY string.  But the
software never goes ON-LINE from OFF-LINE.

I'm pretty certain this same hardware config, including cable, worked before
HAI servied the main board, just before Katrina.

I have manually used a keypad to set the installer code and the PC Access code.
And have set config to one (1) Expansion Enclosure and the first Module to that
and the second and third to Aegis-And I have them both equal to the same 
value (which some say is wrong, don't they?).
I'm pretty certain this has always worked this way, but wouldn't bet the farm.

Any ideasof things to try?

Thanks.
