Scott,

To confirm that the Light It should have got the message, you would have to
run the monitor for the NCE connection. It will decode all the traffic sent
to the command station. If you have that proving the message went to the
command station, but the Light-It didn't change, then the Light-It becomes
suspect. There is always the chance that JMRI isn't always sending a command
when you think it should. Something could be happening at this end of the
setup too. But seeing what the monitor shows would be the best proof of what
went where. It will take some digging through the logs to see what and when
it is sending those commands.

?

the message changes to offline.

Ken S: Do you have JMRI 4.16 installed as suggested earlier in this thread? Automatically defaulting to offline simulator mode when a connection problem occurred was a feature of older JMRI versions.
