Mike,
Those settings will get you into trouble with other features (like programming)
?
The correct settings for a Power Pro system via the Serial Port ?are:
- On the Power Pro, Set Up Command Station
-- AIU Broadcast must be Disabled.
-- ?RS232 Port Baud Rate must be set to 9,600
- JMRI preferences are:
-- System manufacturer: NCE
-- System connection: ?Serial
-- Serial port: <whatever is appropriate for your setup, as per Windows Device Manager>
-- Additional Connection Settings checkbox ON
--- Baud rate: 9600.
--- Command Station EPROM: 2006 or later (unless you have a very old system).
?
The JMRI console log should then report V6.2.x (where "x" is most likely "1").
?
When you install the USB-Serial driver, the Windows installer should take care of avoiding COM port conflicts.
?
If you bought other than the recommended USB-Serial cables, you may find that Windows capriciously changes the COM port later and you'll have to change JMRI settings to match. This is because many cables do not have a unique serial number, and is most likely to happen if you plug into a different USB port on your computer.
Thank you again. I purchased the serial to USB cable and had to buy a PD9 male to male adaptor cable because the Power Pro is a female plug and the serial - USB ?cable was PD9 female plug as well. ?I was able to get the sensors to detect occupancies using NCE, COM4, SB5 settings. However, I have to use COM4 which is what the disk installed and that created a conflict with my Internet port resulting in a loss of internet.. Tomorrow I will try to resolve the conflict. Cheers. Mike
