I've had my FP2NC with Dialog 4 for quite awhile since I got it from Ross maybe 8 years ag. File transfer has been working fine the whole time. I use DNC4U to transfer files from either my PC with a native com port or a small mini PC using a USB com port. A few months ago I noticed that I couldn't download files from the Deckel to the mini PC and figured it might have been due to a software update. Didn't troubleshoot it as I rarely need to copy programs from the Deckel. After not using the machine for awhile, I went to transfer a program over yesterday and file transfer is totally broken. Can't transfer files to or from using either my PC or the mini PC. There is no error reported. When trying to transfer files to the machine it just waits forever and never appears to see data. When sending data out, it just immediately returns. Don't see it sending any data out.
Nothing about the cable or connectors has changed. Both computers have seen many Windows updates but the settings for the com ports remain the same. I've pulled and reset each board in the control and there is no visible corrosion. I did a hard reset using the K10 jumper and reset my rs232 settings (4800baud, 7 bits,1 stop bit, no parity) and there is no difference.
There are 2 solid red leds on either side of what I believe is the serial connector coming into the NPP54 board. Is that a sign of an error?
Looking for suggestions on what to check next to localize the problem.
Thanks
