[Hai-users] Help with strange OmniTouch issue

[Robert Vreeland]

Over the pat few days I upgraded my OmniPro II system by adding a Video Hub
with Encoder, 3 Cameras and an OmniTouch with Video. The problem is that
when I plug in the OmniTouch, one of my other standard consoles goes crazy
spewing garbage characters on the screen. The OmniTouch panel flickers like
crazy and I have even seen it loose connection with the controller or not
allow me to select any onscreen buttons (although the unit beeps as if it
got the input).

- I have 2 standard consoles and only one of them goes crazy when the
OmniTouch is plugged in.
- I have verified and re-verified that the cable between the HAI Controller
and Video Hub are hooked up correctly. They are in different areas of the
house and I connect them with a 75' cat5e cable using 3 of the twisted pairs
to A, B and GRD.
- I have tried multiple cat5 cables to attach the OmniTouch to the hub.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob
