If you’ve selected “LocoNet LocoBuffer-USB” and “DCS240+ (Advanced Command Station)” and you’ve still having _no_ communications at all, then I suspect that your settings are not the problem.
Let’s move on to debugging that.
1) When you open the LocoNet monitor and do something else on the layout, e.g. use a real Digitrax throttle, do you see any LocoNet traffic?
2) Open the JMRI Power Control from the Tools menu, and try turn the layout power on and off. Does that work? Do you see any LocoNet traffic on the LocoNet monitor?
For this next step, leave the layout power on. Or turn it on from a Digitrax throttle
3) If you have a LocoNet-connected turnout, open the JMRI Turnout Control from the Tools menu, enter the number of a turnout on the layout (Just the number, like 23) and see if you can throw and close the turnout.
These details may help us track down the problem.
4) As an experiment, you can also try setting the command station selection to “DCS100 (Chief)”, save and restart, then see if the connection works.

Here are the choices I have in the Connections panel. This is JMRI 5.4 but 5.10 shows the same panels. This was captured on a Windows 10 machine and I know how to determine the correct serial port for a Pi. So please advise which selection is correct in each box so that I can communicate with the DCS240+ from the computer. I can sort out the serial port stuff.
