I'm trying to use a C-More micro on port 2 on a DL06. I am using a cable that we use on the DV-1000 that has a phone plug on one end and a (port 2 shaped) plug on the other. The C-More Micro won't even power up using this cable. However, C-More works using a phone jack-type of cable plugged into port 1. Are there any special settings that I have to enable on Port 2 in the DL06 before it sends power to the Micro? Or is there a different wiring scheme somewhere that I'm not finding? Thanks, Jeremy

Please refer to this chart to make sure you have the correct cable.

According to the chart, I need a DV1000CBL and a FA-15HD adapter. What I 've got looks like a DV1000CBL that has an FA-15HD made onto one end. It somewhat resembles a D4-1000CBL.
I can't seem to find a wiring diagram to check and see if my cable is wired the same as the recommended combination. The pdf file that the Help file brings up is C-More specific with no real info on the C-More Micro or the proper cables for one.
I suppose my main question would be why does this cable work with a DV1000 and not work with a C-More Micro?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Make sure the cable you are using applies 5VCD to pin 5 on the C-more Micro side. The DV1000 can be powered on pin 2 or pin 5. Chances are you have power on pin 2 but not pin 5. See page 4-5 of the Hardware User Manual.
