I just looked over your earlier posts. Other than that you have three XC10A cameras, you haven't provided enough information for anyone to analyze what your problem may be. Describe the X10 hardware and software you have and how you have it configured. Perhaps then someone can help you.
I have no idea how an Appliance Module and a Com Port fit into your situation.

Here is my problem -
I bought the X10 cameras and the VCR commander, extra motion sensors, etc. First I was sent an incorrect A/C adapter for my transceiver and had to wait for a new one. Then I get everthing programmed and the last step was to program the VCR Commander and it wouldn't program. I called they said they would send me a new one then I receive an email with a packing slip attached. I wait a week and call customer service to find out where my new part is and they won't send me a new one until I (at my expense!) ship the other one back. So I have a money back guarantee for 30 days, I'm not so sure I will have mine set up in 30 days. No one told me I had to ship the other one back before I got my new one. I've never heard of such a thing, usually u get the new one and return the defective one in the box the new one came in. Also the company provides a shipping label that they have provided to cover the shipping cost. What a joke. Should have bought at a local retailer!

ldamico : The VCR Commander is notorious for first time users having problems to get the programming correct. The VCR Commander may not be bad, so you might want to try following the instructions here on the Knowledge Base; others have found it easier to understand.

Good Luck.

VCRs are a little out of date these days. How about DVR?

The name is somewhat deceiving.... They can be used to trigger a recording on any device that has an IR remote; like many PC capture cards.

Cool, I'm learning a lot around here.
