PROBLEM
My extender just is not talking to my MGL IEFIS lite.
I have:
-attached the extender to the iefis RS232 port 2.
-confirmed power to it and confirmed 2 flashes of green LED.
-enabled the extender in enabled devices
-double checked the MGL supplied harnesses
- tried switching the rs232 Tx and Rx connections just to make sure it was hooked up correctly.
- checked and rechecked everything a dozen times.
SYMPTOMS
--in Serial Port diagnostics, no RS232 connection (extender 2 through 6) show any communication even though I have hooked up V6 comm and Sandia transponder to various ports and they will not talk through the extender. They both talk to the IEFIS on RS232 Port 1 which does not go through the extender.
-- in Internal Sensor Diagnostics, sensors all show 0 volts and do not change. Tried hooking up various sensors like OAT sensor and trim position sensor.
I have tried a different extender from a friend, and that has the same behavior.
I THINK THIS IS THE KEY INDICATOR:
When I disable the extender in 'equipment enables' menu (rendering RS232 Port 2 a regular serial port), I can see communication activity on the Iefis RS232 port 2 port in the Serial Port Diagnostics page. EVEN WHEN THE 9 PIN CONNECTOR ON THE BACK IS REMOVED AND NOTHING IS ATTACHED TO THE PORT.
I think this means my RS232 port2 is bad on my iefis. If anyone has any other opinions or things to try, I could use the help. Thank you.
Here is a video of the issue:
