Can't "Download from Remote" on 8910

Septimus · Post by **Septimus** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 11:36 pm

I just got my URC-8910 to replace my 8811. I attached my JP1 parallel cable to the remote, and when I tried to download it I got the following message:

"Did not receive a response (acknowledgment) from the remote after sending bus address. (ErrNo=6, Param=0)"

I'm using the most recent IR program and RDF files. Funny thing is that the 8811 can still connect without any problems.

Anyone have any ideas to help me out?

Thanks.

Have you tried manufacturer reset?

With my 8910 and parallel cable, I have to remove two batteries for it to be able to communicate with the computer.

stangbat, funny thing, the problem with mine is that it won't work with the batteries OUT (my 8811 needed to have the batteries out). Weird.

I haven't tried mine with the batteries out, but it won't work with all four connected. Have you tried yours with just two connected?

There's a cleverly named sticky post right at the top of this section of the forum that may be of assistance.

(By the way, removing one battery breaks the circuit, so removing two will make no additional difference.)

Yes, I should have said I've been removing two from the circuit. I'm not actually removing the batteries. Just flipping one up so that it doesn't touch the contacts is all that is needed.
