This is a copy of two emails I sent to michael.

/Michael, //

//I was an active XTension user years ago but life got in the way. I'm 
now semi-retired and have the time to "Fire It Up" again. I ordered a 
XTB-232 interface yesterday, The CM11 I previously used had failed way 
back when I shut the system down, it was the second interface that died 
and part of the reason I "moved on". //
/ /
//I downloaded the latest version of your software (9.4.27, build 1015) 
and went through my "stuff" to see what I could get working while 
waiting for the new interface. I attached a CM19 and was able to send 
and receive as expected. I then tried a MR26A and am unable to receive 
anything. XTension tells me that it is ready but I receive nothing. Do I 
have to select a port? I see no selection for USB so I selected 
Buetooth-Incoming-Port. Is there anything else I have to do? //

//EXtension has really changed over the years. Seems to be much more 
powerful/flexible/useful but it is also much more complicated than I 
remember. Received the XTB-232 interface today and tried it with no 
success. In your email you suggested that I tell Xtension to install usb 
drivers. I have no idea how to do that. I  did however, install the 
drivers on the computer, which was a pain since my IMac has no DVD 
drive, I had to load the drivers onto a thumb drive using an older 
computer at another location. //
/ /
//BTW, I am subscribed to the discussion group and will use it a source 
of info once I'm up and running. //
/ /
//Jim /


He has since advised me of his health issues and referred me to the 
discussion list - here goes.


I received the interface today, installed the USB to Serial driver and 
no response from it. I receive (2) errors: "Power Failure at controller" 
and "ERROR 35 - No response from the CM11."

How do I inform XTension that I am using a USB to Serial adaptor? What 
Port? Michael suggested I may have to tell XTension to install the 
driver(s) - How is that done?

Guess I need to be re-trained.

Thanks in advance,

Jim
