Hi Dan and yes - Q3.3 and OVMS 6.1 or 2 not sure now

I get error no such device - CMM is started it's B&S MicroXcel PFx 765 and the controller is Sharpe32 (I'm not sure of the Z), connected to LTA101:

QDS>apx

VAX APXLOD/TERMINAL UTILITY C 2.5

Channel Name (C=CM:, T=TV:) : c

%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available

Dan, I was also thinking about reseting the DecServer90 but we were told in the past not to do it because it will loose some settings, so I'm afraid. Do you think the reset could cause more problems? Now I'm able to login to the DecServer and check the ports configuration but there must be a way to light up the diodes of the particular port or are the diodes just reacting on the signals sent?
