Unable to Assign ID to Jaguar with BD-COMM

Hi,
We are trying to assign IDs to a Black Jaguar from BD-COMM. We made a CAN to serial adapter. We also terminated the other port with a CAN terminator.



The steps we are taking are:

1) Connect Black Jaguar serial port to computer with a 6P6C to RS232 adapter. As the picture shows, we recrimped the wire so that it is reversed.



2) Open up BD-COMM to the System tab. At this point, the Black Jaguar has a solid yellow light.

3) We change the id to 2 and click assign. The jag never turns green. We press the user button within the 5 second time window. Sometimes it turns solid yellow for a bit.

Afterwards, the Black Jaguar blinks a slow yellow and we cannot locate it in BD-COMM.

From what it looks like, we can't find anyway to assign an ID to the Jag. We've confirmed that the adapter is working.

Any troubleshooting suggestions?

Thanks!
