OK...I can't be the only one who has this problem.  I've tried 2 different CM11As, and
the same thing happens with both.  Here's the problem:

Occasionally, when the power goes out, or when the CM11A is unplugged, or if the serial
connection is disconnected, the CM11A will stop responding.  It just locks up.  ECS
can't talk to it, nor can IBM's Home Director software.  Rebooting the computer does
not help removing or replacing the batteries does not work.  Eventually, usually after
many hours, the unit starts working again.

I find no mention of this in either the documentation that came with the CM11A, and
IBM's website acts as if they never made the Home Director.  

If anyone has had this problem, and were able to actually "make" this interface start
working again, I'd sure appreciate knowing your method.  I love the interface, except
when it does this.  Light dimming is much more eye-pleasing with the CM11A, than any
other PLC interface I've used.

Thanks
Jerry
