Were there ACKs going by with a number of different commands being sent to the robot? Sometimes if the robot controller can't connect to the camera, you see a bunch of "->" and "<-" without and commands being sent. This is because the robot controller is waiting for the camera to reply and timing out.

If it is working it will finish the entire initialization sequence in less than a second.
