All right, ADT apparently thinks that it's connected all the time, even when the cable is disconnected from the //c. I will continue troubleshooting tomorrow. Goodnight! On Sat, Mar 11, 2017 at 9:40 PM, Joe Giliberti wrote: > Any attempt to connect to view, send or receive results in a host timeo

If you stare at the Device Manager and pull the USB/Serial adapter do the "Unknown Device" and "Base System Device" disappear? Who is the manufacturer of the USB/Serial cable? On Fri, Mar 10, 2017 at 11:39 PM, Joe Giliberti via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > Greetings! > I am trying to
