Dale,

The instructions in the Getting Started Guide show a 100 ohm connected between red and green (CAN_L and CAN_H) inside the RS-232 to CAN converter. If you did this, you should have the proper termination.

P.S. I wonder if the termination needs to occur closer the the black jag than at the converter. Our cable is only 5 inches or so, but maybe even that is too long?
