Hi Bob,
Can you check your jumper settings are set correctly? Also make sure you're on V0.9 firmware.

Hi All,
I am having problems trying to use the LVB Tracker/G5500 on the Serial Port. My box will not communicate. Mike Young sent me another box with the MAX232 chip and I am not able to communicate with it either. I can control the G5500 via the LVB faceplate.
I am using COM Port 1, 9600, 8-N-1 None and CAN communicate with hyperterminal with a loopback plug. When it is plugged to the LVB box I am NOT able to communicate via hyperterminal or SatPC32. The SDX Server is set correctly to COM1/9600, has been saved and SatPC32 recycled. Still no go.
My original box, when the USB chip is removed and a MAX232 chip installed appears to communicate with the G5500, but when the G5500 is powered off, both meters on the G5500 peg to the max. Very strange. Still not control via Serial port.
Anyone have any ideas? Mike & I are stumped on this one.
73,
