I have already a Link 88 connected to the CS3 Plus and all contacts working fine. I recently connected a S88 directly to the RJ45 port at the bottom of the CS3Plus and added 4 contacts under GFP3-1. Unfortunately none are working in fact not responding at all. How can we configure this. Can some one please help ion this issue. Am attaching some photos thanks Sanjiv

Your configuration looks good. Best regards Per

Joined: 04/02/2011(UTC) Posts: 3,548 Location: Paris, France		Hi Sanjiv I think the issue is related with updating bus lengths on LinkS88 You have one external 60883 that you seem to have programmed correctly What about the INTERNAL LinkS88 included in the CS3Plus 60216? Have you updated the number of S88 modules connected DIRECTLY to the CS3 Plus? Check in the LinkS88 tab Sorry, I cannot be more precise as I have a CS3 60226 with an external LinkS88 It seems to show on one of your screen the number of S88 modules connected directly to the CS3Plus See the red-circled zone You MUST also connect the upsidedown "T" of the directly connected S88 to the "O" of the digital power output Cheers Jean

The no of modules connected to the CS3 Plus is at 1. What should the configuration be, I cannot figure out. Sanjiv Keshava

Your configuration looks good. Best regards Per I have done just that. Connected the inverted T on the s88 to the track 'O' But still I get no response. I can't seem to get the right configuration Sanjiv

Got a new one and all working perfectly well Sanjiv Did you find out what the defective S88 was the problem? You can open the box and tried to figure out if there was bad contacts for example.
