I misstated that I was trying to make sure comfort1 using comfigurator2 will work with ucm/usb ??? as quoted just below the pic of the rs232.  just trying to clarify about the usb usage.  I do realize that windows will stop the usage of comfigurator2 but for now a minimal install on a laptop will do for reprogramming issues.  This will probably outlast me and that\'s where I\'m going.  Thanks for your help.   Carl Frod

according to that post UCM/usb works with Comfigurator 2. However Comfigurator 2 does not recognise USB so you have to select the COM port which the USB driver takes

[carlford]

so the ucm/usb will work with comfort1 with comfigurator2 if the pc usb port is reconfigured to comm port.  So what is the correct ucm/usb to use ??  Thanks for looking as I know you probably have lots of other things than this old stuff to do.

It does though look like there are a few other clients that are interested in keeping their current setups alive.  At least until Windows overcomes.  Thanks and have a good day. Carl Ford

Here\'s another way to look at this.  Suppose you have a pc that had no serial port could you configure a usb port to say a comm2 port (using device manager) and then with the right ucm/usb comfigurator2 would work since it requires a comm port.  Would this be  work around for a bad ucm01 ??? again this is a comfort1 system. The other way would to be use a usb to serial converter and use ucm01.  but then the original problem of bad ucm01\'s is not overcome.    just food for thought.  Respectfully,  Carl Ford

using device manage to assign COM port should work but I dont understand how you want to get arpound a bad UCM01
You need a working ucm, a bad one will not work

[carlford]

I want to get around the rs232 one.  Since there are no more of them but there seems to be more of the ucm/usb. The work around is for anyone else that ends up in my situation with no comfort1 access.  Thank you  Carl

I finally got back to the comfort1 and am using comfigurator3 with good results except for the scanning thing and a few status indicators not working. Any way to stop if from doing it\'s own scan ??? If not I still want to thank everyone for helping me out. Carl
