| 6 | 1 | Problem: |
|
| 7 | 4 | 'bs11_config' can't get a connection to the BS-11 (no 'LMT LOGON: ACK') |
|

| 9 | Solution: |
||
| 10 | 2 | The BS-11 is a little bit choosy about the RS232 levels, I discovered some problems |
|
| 11 | 4 | with my Dell PC (could receive anything, but no tx). Just switch to an el-cheapo USB |
|
| 12 | to Serial adapter, this should solve the problem. |

| 14 | Some background notes: |
||
| 15 | 6 | dexter | We measured the RS232 levels and we found out that the level of our RS232<==>USB Adaptor |
| 16 | is much lower (about +/-6 Volts) than normaly expected (+/-12V). The BS11 transmits at a |
||
| 17 | semeliar level (about 8 Volts). This may be an explaination why the BS11 does not like |
||
| 18 | 12 | dexter | the normal (+/-12V) levels. |
