I certainly cannot be 0, since that is the broadcast address. 1 is what all Jaguars ship as. You must assign a unique ID to each Jaguar with a tool such as the bdc-comm utility from TI. This has nothing to do with wiring order. All Jags are on a shared bus. The CAN bus is wired straight through between the 2 CAN connectors on the Jags.

TI recommends that you use addresses in the range 2 - 63.

BTW, the error code is "Operation Timed Out".

Also, have you tested your serial cable adapter with a PC serial port and bdc-comm to make sure it's functioning properly? Is your serial cable plugged into the left RJ-12 plug on the Black Jag? Does the plugin appear to be loading properly on the console (you would have to use a network console to see it since your serial port is in use!)?
