with com port driver on PC.

IE Does same functions as a LANTRONIC.

Why is Scanning via CNI so much Slower ??

"Why is Scanning via CNI so much Slower"

My guess is message buffering being done between the Ethernet and C-Bus in the CNI.

Was that using the Toolkit beta? The next release will have altered CNI communications (to resolve various issues) and that may have contributed to the delays.

yes via tool Kit

OK, let us know with the new version (no it is not released for download yet) if you still have any issues.

I will post to the forum when it is available for download, of course. ;)

Speed Much better with V1.1.3

Still can not use the delete key in the Port number field on CNI Setup. I Always type 1001 and can not correct quickly !

that backspace bug is nasty.. real nasty. We'll have to send that one to NASA to fix.





(just kidding. it's fixed in the next release)
