Hi

I am coming back to you with this unresolved problem.

Since the last post, I have changed my PC and operating system from Vista to XP Pro.

I have a third party system that talks to Comfort on a daily basis. I can talk to the UCM from HyterTerminal with no issues.

I have tried the lastest Comfig and even downgraded to Version 2.23. I still cannot get any response using any of these versions of Comfig !!

When I send a command from HT or Control4, the D11 green led flashes and the command is executed. No activity on D12 (red)

Please help

You say the command from Hyperterminal works. But do you get a reply on Hypertermiinal to the command?

Hi,

No, not that I can see, but it does seems to display something \'invisible\' on a new line.

The serial command does get executed thou. eg turn on the sprinkler

Thanks

If you do not see any reply it may mean that the data is not coming back from the UCM but the UCM is receiving data from the PC. This could be why the external device is able to send comnmands to the UCM
Comfigurator needs to have a reply in order to work
There may be a fault or bad connection within the UCM05
Please return it to your supplier for exchange if under warranty

HI

I received a UCM5 Ethernet from my distributor as a replacement for the serial Ucm.

I am told that it can be used as a serial as well.

What do I need to set/configure on the UCM to act as a serial UCM ?

Also, will I still need the Tibbo DS Manager Software as well ?

Thanks

Please download the UCM Manual to get instructions on the UCM/Ethernet and the other varieties of UCM

If the UCM has a DB9 connector, you can use it by changing the following shunts

• J2 should be in the 485 position (NOT 232)
• SW8-F shunt should be removed

Hi

The UCM supplied does not have a DB9 connecter, only ethernet.

I can connect via ethernet to Comfort but I need a serial connection to the third party console. Currently I am using (with the old serial UCM) an ethernet cable with RJ45 and a Ethernet Dual Serial Bridge DB9 to RJ-45 RS-232 Adapter   http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.asp...pter/LA126

Is it possible to use the UCM05 ethernet module with this configuration for serial

Thanks

It is difficult to comment on third party converters. You really have to test to see if they will work with the UCM/Ethernet

So the UCM/Ethernet is working with Comfort now?
