Correct. I have the adapter ready, and am checking all the dependencies. It's a simultaneous zmatter install -> migration, so I'm checking everything I can beforehand.

Ahhh.. That's the value coming from the ISY99 via {host}/desc, not the local IoP server. Thx Michel.

I've tried rebooting and restarting and updating and all the things, but still see mismatching version numbers in Polisy. Is there magic for this? (Getting ready to move to the Zmatter card). Thx.

Thanks. Oh yeah, I'm on the list

Thx all for the links to the official UD cable. I try not to create e-waste and wouldn’t use the serial to USB or Ethernet cables. But if the $3 homemade adapter option doesn’t work then I’ll get a cable. Hopefully USB PLMs will come back in stock and I’ll eventually move to that, and make the existing 10yo adapter the backup.

Thx Brian. I should have labeled the connector as female front. This would be the view looking at the end of the connector not the back of the plate.

Thanks @Geddy @Brian H does this look correct for https://www.startech.com/en-us/cables/gc98ff?

I'm ready to migrate my 99 to my Polisy, but for one thing- no serial cables available for the PLM. Womp-womp. https://smartenit.com/shop/plm-serial-cable/ are out of stock. Is this a standard cable, or is there a published pin-out so I can make my own? Is it a standard console cable (AKA Cisco blue? https://www.amazon.com/OIKWAN-Rollover-Console-Management-Adapter/dp/B08V539JMQ) Thx, I can't wait.

Thx @TexMike, that's perfect. I'm running the ISY and Polisy off UPS-backed PoE with the rest of the core network, and didn't want to jam a plug over the pin. I'll make a cable for it, and this time 5.5 x 2.5. Thanks! ?

I'm finding standard 12V wall warts work fine on the ISY99, but not the Polisy. The Polisy jack's center pin appears to be a bit larger than on most 12V connector plugs. Is it a different specification? Strangely, a lightning strike took out the Polisy brick and I subbed an old one from the ISY, no issues. Thx!
