Re: Issues with setting up Jaguars for CAN
How many jaguars are hooked up? Try to get communication on a single one (serial plugged in to left port, terminator in right) first. If you can communicate with it, write down its ID. Move onto the next, until you verify that you can or cannot talk with each as a single node, and record their ID's along the way. It would be a good idea to do the firmware flash to v.107 at this time.

You may have had bad luck with your bridging jaguar. Testing the serial of each will tell you if it is a jaguar problem or a Windows / USB-Serial adapter problem. If you can't talk with any individual ones, then the problem is with driver conflicts which prevent BDC-Comm from doing its thing. If you can talk to each, then the problem is with the CAN bus. Since it won't show your bridging jaguar's ID, then I suspect the problem to be windows-related or a problem within your bridge jaguar.
