RE: Why is my Operations Console connection failing

Nathan,

I don't have specifics, but I think that you may need to remove your
current configuration and then proceed with a new configuration with the
Operations Console cable connected to your comm port.  Since you have
only one serial port, then your laptop should probably not get a whiff
of the Control Panel cable.

Perhaps that's what you had attached when your first configured the
laptop?
