device might fail to activate because of communications errors.

the communication is set up.
2. Verify that the device has power and is turned on.
3. Verify that the COM port assigned to the device is correct.
4. Verify that the communication settings for the device (for example, dip switch settings) are set correctly and
match the settings on the Communication tab.
5. Turn off the device.
6. Wait 10 seconds.
7. Turn on the device.
Wait until all device power-up activities are complete before trying to activate the hardware profile again.
Some devices might require 30 seconds or more to complete the power-up activities.
