  Serial port

  Posted by Lukkee Chong on February 17, 2007 at 3:53 pm

  Hi, I just upgraded one of our Media 100 units to version 8.3.2 and OSx10.3.9, 867 mhz G4. This is the second unit we will have with this config.In trying to setup the deck control via TimecoderXM100 I get an error message saying “make sure that the serial adapter is connected and that it’s OS X software is installed.” How do I work around this? I do not have Keyspan installed on this machine nor on our second unit which works fine. Unfortunately the machines are in two different locations so its difficult to do an exact comparison to see what the differences might be.
  Gratefull for any suggestions.

  Yes, the modem port was modified and this is where the rs422 cable is connected.
  Thanks,
