If you are not able to receive any kind of messages from the network/base station, I suspect the issue is with the USB-Serial adapter you have. We have seen scenarios where you can program the Mote successfully,but can't read the data. Not all USB-Serial adapters work reliably with different PC makes and OS. I would suggest stick to MIB520 board. You should have 2 COM ports assigned to this. Use the lower COM port for Mote programming and higher one for data reading. With MIB520 first make sure that you can see heartbeat messages from the base Mote and data messages from your Remote Motes. Then proceed with OTAP operation using Remote tab of the MoteConfig. Good luck, Giri

Several questions: 1. Which MIB board are you using and what COM port is assigned to it? Sorry, I forgot putting it. I am using MIB520, but I have tried with the MIB510 too. The COM port is COM3. I have selected these options in Settings/Interface Board. 2. Are you using any USB-Serial adapter? Yes, I am using a Conceptronic USB-Serial Adapter. 3. Which application did you program into the base station Mote? (one that is attached to the MIB board)? I have programmed the XMeshBase application in the base station mote, with OTAP option disabled, and the XMesh application in the other motes with OTAP option enabled. 4. Before attempting to OTAP, were you able to receive/view data in MoteView from the remote Motes and verify communication? Hum, after attempting to OTAP, I do not receive any kind of message. Before this, I didn't try it, but previously, I used MoteView and it worked as desired; so, I don't know which the problem can be.

I have followed all the steps that are explained in "MoteConfig User's Manual" document (http://www.xbow.com/support/support_pdf_files/moteconfig_users_manual.p df), but my base station does not detect the turned-on motes (paragraph 5.2, page 16). The message it shows is "There is no response from the base station. Please check your connections, verify that switch SW2 is set to the OFF position and click Search again". I have checked that switch, the COM ports (they seem to be working fine because I can programme the Motes normally) but I get the same message over and over again. Possibly, I am doing something dumb, so could anybody help me solve this problem?
