I have installed a new usb to serial interface, and I still get almost the same thing:
Enabling plugin "DSC Alarm 1.5.4"
Starting plugin "DSC Alarm 1.5.4" (pid 4234)
DSC Alarm Log level preferences are set to "Debug".

DSC Alarm Plugin will attempt to re-initialize again in 3 minutes.
Although, there seems to be one line that gets information from the interface, ie: LC Update. Later when it retries its back to the way before.
When I connect to it directly, I get the same thing with question marks, but read in the screen man pages that this is shown when an unrecognized character set is used. So I wouldn't immediately consider this wrong. Right now I'm using the default UTF-8. When viewed in hex i get:
0430: FD FF FD FF FD FF 78 00 FD FF FD FF FD FF 78 00 ......x.......x.
0440: FD FF FD FF FD FF 78 00 FD FF 78 00 FD FF FD FF ......x...x.....
0450: 78 00 FD FF FD FF FD FF FD FF 78 00 FD FF FD FF x.........x.....
0460: FD FF FD FF FD FF 78 00 FD FF FD FF 78 00 78 00 ......x.....x.x.
But it doesn't look like a valid packet, as IT-100 packet should end with 0D 0A based on the manual. Also I can't find any command that corresponds to FD FF FD. That is if I'm reading the manual correctly. I would expect to see something like this: 36 30 39 Then data 00 00 36 then check sum 35 34 then end of packet 0d 0a
Could the IT-100 be faulty?
