Thanks.  I appreciate those suggestions and I may have to follow one of those paths.  I am still puzzled why my setup stopped working after a few years with no problems and no changes to anything.  The modem seems OK and nothing has been changed on the software.  I uninstalled and reinstalled...

Thank you.  My desktop has the modem and it a long distance from the board, so I have been using it with PC Access for control.  It could be failing though it reports ok and passes all of the checks in the Windows 10 system process.  I do have a laptop with an ethernet port so might be able to...

I have been using PC Access with an Agere modem in Windows 10 for a few years without any problem.  All of a sudden, the modem shows as off-line in PC Access and I cannot connect with the Omni LT board.  The modem shows as working properly in a Windows System check.  Any help would be greatly...

All of a sudden, I cannot access my Omni LT with PC Access.  It has worked flawlessly for a long time.  There was a power failure, outside my house and it may have started after that.  Anyhow, according to Windows 10 the modem is working.  It querys fine and the log indicates it is working.  I...

Thanks.  Makes sense. 

I think this is a dumb question, but will ask it anyhow.  I have 2 firmware chips for an Omni LT board.  One is numbered 2.16a and the other 2.6.  It seems to me that the 2.6 should be the latest.  Am I correct?

I am interested.

My old (2008) OmniLt board seems to have gone south and I need to replace it.  I do not have unlimited funds but want a system as least as good as the old OmniLT.  I would appreciate any thoughts or advice.  I have been leaning toward the Omni LTe because that would require the least amount of...

I am trying to convert my X-10 system to UPB and cannot get the switches to configure. The data: I have an OmniLT (3.7) with PC Access (3.10.0.643) running on a Windows 7 (64bit) computer. I have replaced all of the switches with HAI 35A00-1 and am using an HAI PIM 36A00-1. I started a new...

I am installing an Omnistat 2 thermostat in an older conventional single stage HVAC system with no ground from the thermostat to the furnace circuit board. The system worked fine with a regular programmable thermostat. I am pretty sure that the wiring is OK. The Omnistat will engage the...

Thanks to all for responding. I realized that most of the problems began when I started using a new computer and monitor. The computer is much larger and more powerful than the one I had before and the monitor is a large widescreen. There is much that I do not know about X-10, like electronic...

I am operating several X-10 lights through a OminiLT panel. Within the last month or so, everything has become erratic. It started with a hall light that would not turn off. I think that might be because there is a CFC in the circuit. The circuit has four lights on it, two CFC and two...

I need to upgrade the bios on my OmniLT system. Any idea where I can purchase the chip?

Will do. Thanks.

In Feb. 2009, I upgraded my PC Access to 3.0, via the internet. I received a link and a serial number. Recently, I installed a new computer and just copied the software over and it runs fine. The problem is that I cannot upgrade it. When I moved it over, it installed the serial number which...
