Greetings!
I'm working on getting a CommandStar lite up and running, and I'm hitting a wall with getting it talking to CSDM-Lite.
It appears that while CSDM-Lite can see the messages from the console just fine, it's unable to communicate back and the link status is always "LINK DOWN". This prevents me from doing anything with the console including software or database updates.
For reference, I'm running this on a CF-18 toughbook with XP and a hardware serial port, so there should be no funny business going on.
My current theory is that the software running on the console is too old for this version of CSDM-Lite to communicate with. The console is on 3211931-29 SR1 but the CSDM installer came with 3211931-39 SR1. However, the only way to upgrade software on these things is to use CSDM, so I'm SOL it seems.
This is the version I'm running, which appears to be the latest:
Does anyone happen to have old versions of CSDM-Lite kicking around? These consoles have been out of support at Moto for going on 2 decades now, and even my contacts inside Mother M have been unable to find anything lying around.
Any other ideas you have will also be greatly appreciated! I'm hoping there's a few people around who messed with these things "back in the day" who can shed some light.
