Ok...I updated the driver for the adapter, but my computer didn't like that
and Device Manager kept refreshing about every 10 seconds or so. When I had
a bad adapter several years ago, it did the same thing, so I rolled back to
the previous driver and it's stable again.
Is there a way to check the command station to see if the RS232 port is
working properly? I'll call NCE in the morning, but if there's any easy way
I'd like to try tonight. Are there any other settings in the command
station I should check? I REALLY don't want to reset the CS to factory
settings, because I'll lose all my consists.
Thanks for your help!

Jeff,
I'll let Dave speak about the different USB-serial devices. He has a
standard
page explaining some of the principle ones.
But looking at your log, it NEVER talks with the command station. It
tries,
but never gets an answer. As I said, it gives a green status at first
because
the test had not timed out yet. Maybe we should show it as yellow for
'unknown' and then green if we get a replay or red if we don't. But color
isn't real good for interfaces, some people don't see colors that well. So
at
first it could say 'testing' until it knows one way or the other. Minor
point,
generally people wait long enough to start that it doesn't matter.
