Re: BDC-COMM does not recognize Jaguars
verify your pinouts

the serial to can should be DB9 pin 3 to RJ-12 pin 1, , pin 5 to 5, and pin 2 to 6. the adapter should also have a 100 ohm resistor between pins 3 and 4 on the RJ-12

the terminator should have a 100 ohm resistor between pin 3 and 4. did you directly crimp the resistor? if so, it may have shorted... i usually crimp wires in and solder the resistor to the wires to prevent that.
