SmartStep LED Display

Upgrading a '98 Microrouter with a SmartStep/3 control card from DOS to VR Milling v2.31.
After installing the new EPROM a "7" comes up on the LED Display.
Any idea what this means?

Sorry I have got nothing on my list to say what a 7 indicates, i'll investigate and see if i can find a answer

This is the chart for the older Baldor smartstep control boards...
there is no sign of a 7

Does the machine function?

Does the number change when you hit E-Stop?

It's an "L".
The card is installed vertically in the control box, had to get the right orientation.
Checking the home switches and wiring.

Thanks for the help.

Boots,

In my notes "L" can mean "Denford Software Not Communicating" with the machine

Will check the switche first.

Is ther a solution for the "Software Not Communicating"?
How would you check/correct for this?
