RC 1216H / ACOM 2000A

[w1ajt]

Hello All, 
I may have posted this in the wrong section Saturday.  I am trying the get the RR 1216H working with my ACOM 2000A for the first time.  I can turn on/off the mains, turn the amp on but not off without turning off the mains, see that it is in Standby, and the upper right "LED" on the webpage is solid green.  I cannot go from standby to operate or from operate to standby.  However, I can see on the Web I/F that the Standby indicator is yellow.  The Web I/F monitors my RCU settings perfectly if I am using the RCU instead of the Web page and I can fully operate the amp locally.  The Web I/F does not return “Readings”.  I am using a null-modem cable.  Here is some additional information:
Product   RC-1216H
Software   4.12
Hardware   2
Bootloader   1.10
Build   Nov 19 2014 11:14:21
S/N   2633.
Any ideas out there?

Thanks,

It's not much that can be wrong. Installation problems with ACOM-2000 is very rare. Have you connected the "startup" wires from AUX SW1 to the RCU panel connector pin 5 and 9 ? Im not sure if you can use a fully connected nullmodem cable ? There is at least 5-6 different meanings of a null modem cable, I recommend to cut the extra wires so only 2,3,5 is in use.

Thanks Mike, yes pins 5 & 9 are connected and I have tried 2 different "null-modem" cables.  I will make up a new null-modem" cable myself and try that when I get back to the remote site.  Are there any other controller/amplifier addresses that I should try?

OK
I have never heard that the addresses have to be changed.
