I obtained a CM19A at a garage sale and hooked it up to the serial port and
nothing happens. I tried to signal it with a keychain remote but did not get
any response or indication on the computer that the device works even though
the LED lights up. I was under the impression this device received all
codes. Am I doing something incorrect?

There was no software as it was on the table in a plastic sandwich bag. I suppose I'm out of luck?

Oops, this is a MR26A.
After looking at pictures on the net I finally got my magnifier out to read the torn up and faded label. Of course it still has the same problem.
I apologize for the confusion.

It's been a long time so my memory may be corrupted but I think the Firecracker software will report MR26A output.

The port needs to be configured for 9600 8N1. It outputs 5 bytes for each standard X-10 RF code. The protocol is described at...

Not to worry - you'll be up and running shortly. The software you need is here: ftp://ftp.x10.com/pub/applications/firecracker/xfire.exe and these will be of interest:

I have gotten it to receive and display codes transmitted from a KC674. Now I have to look for a freeware and an interface to the power line. Thanks much to everyone who assisted me with their knowledge.
