Issue Addressed
We had a customer called in un able to communicate to the 6300. They were able to communicate to the 6150 by itself.
 
Causes of Issue
The connections may be incorrect, and
also check Firmware Versions.
 
Solution to this Issue
After trying to get the 6300 online, we discovered if the Firmware versions to both test sets do not match exactly, you not be able to communicate to both. You may be able to communicate with one or the other but never both.

Also we want to let all of you know the proper way of hooking this up:

You may connect to the 6150 via Usb to Serial (below com 9). You may also connect to the 6150 via eithernet but you will need a hub!

From there you want to make sure you have (using the usb to serial) that you have a cross over eithernet cable going from the 6150 to the 6300. From there you want to make sure you have connections from the lower source (6150) to the 6300. From there you should be okay as long as your firmwares are the same.

If you are NOT able to talk to the test sets with the Doble Control Pannel, then RTS will not be any different.
