Marrick Ltd. Home Control Assistant (HCA) fails to communicate with a LynX-10 module connected to COM-1, returns an error pop-up window [see image attachment]
This error occurs when in hardware setup, clicking the Test button for the device. The device is specified manually-there is nothing implying that there was any actual communication with the device. Activity lights did not come on with the LynX-10. The software cannot perform its task without communicating with the interface.
This does not occur within native Win98SE. The device is indeed connected to serial port 1 and is powered up.
Background info: LynX-10 is an X10 interface used for home automation for sending digital messages through AC lines to turn various devices on and off, dim lights, etc. with computer control. It connects using a serial port, is powered off the AC and has an activity light for serial exchanges.
The software is designed to interface with a variety of interfaces; each interface needs specification as to what COM port it is attached to. Next to each interface on the setup dialog is a Test button. When this Test button is clicked the dialog described above occurs.
The attached log starts from startup of the program, which runs quite smoothly until the explicitly-marked parts.
Machine info: kubuntu 8.4, up-to-date (as of Jul 27 2008) 2 serial ports, 1 plugged into LynX-10, second is free. No special serial port software installed on linux end. Windows version mode is "use default"
