Hi,
This is a good step forward. The CDS3 is now correctly taking control of the
EII, but it is not completing EII "initilisation".

The CDS3 manual suggests that this is a connection problem. Given the cable
is correct, I suggest checking the EII RS422 internal connection.

Power Off the EII.
Open the case, be very careful not to damage the internal cable between top
and bottom casings.

Locate the RS422 socket.
Note the following:

Which pins are wired up on the socket.
Check there are no wiring breaks.
Whether the wiring goes to a small daughterboard or straight to the digital
board.
At the same time check the OS boot ROM version numbers. They are on the
digital board and have paper stickers on them.

Close the case and power back on.
Note the serial number and OS version.
Double check the CDS3 dip settings and the new cable wiring.

Email me with the information you find. It may be that your RS422 port is
wired up differently.

Regards
Rob
