CumulusMX not talking to Station

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

CumulusMX not talking to Station

Post by dogmeat »

I am using an Aercus WS3083 station, and CumulusMX on my Macbook.
Cumulus does not seem to be talking to my station.
I am using localhost:8998 as per the screen display when Mx starts.

Any advice on what I might be doing wrong?

What does the command line say when you run MX? Does it say "Station not found"? What exactly have you done so far - have you configured the station type?

This is what I am now getting. I thought I had configured it correctly when I first set it up.

That looks like you have more than one instance running.
