Terry, S/W level is 6.5.4 (could be ..3, but I think ..4) and these are most assuredly CP60s. Hadn't thought about using another parameter of the block as you suggest. I'll call the site and see if this works for them.

Do your checkpoint and then toggle the CIN block to Manual and back to Auto. Hopefully that will resolve the other connection too so that you do not need to force the contact. What s/w level are you running in the CP60's? I have done a lot of peer testing and have never run into that problem. Perhaps with ABSTA but not CP60.
