Re: Cloud CPM woes

Holy cow, the new cable works. I guess the RS 232 premade cable that I used as the basis for my RS 422 cable, did not have twisted pairs and the shielding did not prevent "noise". Thanks for all the help.

Re: Cloud CPM woes

Cable I'm using a 2' long premade rs232 shielded cable with the original metal 9 pin connector intack. On the other end I used a 5 pin din (of good quality) and carefully soldered it according to the pinout chart on your site. Continuity tests are good and have been checked multiple times to confir...

Cloud CPM woes

I've been having a heck of a time trying to use cloud CPM. I can access everything on Retronet except Cloud CPM. Well actually about 1 out of 25 or 30 tries I can actually get it to work. I get to the Cloud CPM screen and everything loads except for the prompt. This is really frustrating me. I want ...
