Trouble connecting to Centralite Litejet

[ctay]

I am having trouble connecting to my Litejet for the first time through the elk. Lighting changes in the Elk have no effect on the Litejet. I am connecting through a ELK-M1XSP that has been enrolled and is running the latest firmware. The litejet is on firmware 7.0. The serial cable is good and I am able to connect to the Litejet through this serial cable when it is connected to the laptop. The M1XSP is enrolled and communicating with the M1G (steady blinks every 1/2 sec). I have the mode jumpers of the M1XSP set to 1 1 1 0. I am connected to the serial port 1 on the Litejet with dip switches 8 and 6 on. This is a litejet 48 so i can not connect to the port 2 as that connects the two panels together. I set the format for the lights in ELK RP with the format stated in the manual (Serial expander, dimmer). The M1XSP is addressed #2.

I am at a loss. I have tried everything I can think of and have looked for every document that says anything about the setup of these two that I can find.

Any ideas?

I have an Elegance system, for the most part, it works fine with the M1.

They don't have as much info on the litejet system on the website, but perhaps you can garner some information from the HAI interface document. Good Luck

Well I emailed tech support. We will see if they come up with anything.

Resolution... Turns out that pin 7 of my serial cable was bad. Replaced the cable and everything worked as it was supposed to.
