Trying to TEST Prop 1 with RC-4 nothing happens?

I'm trying to run the RC-4 test program...the debug screen comes up..the blue screen is blank
this is what it reports
COM1      Baud 4800   Parity None    Data Bits 8   Flow Control off
Green light by TX RX DSR CTS

I have the baud on the RC-4 open (the black connector off of the pins)
The cable from pint 7 to X1
the2003A that came with the trainer is in place

Should I be seeing something?  Do the SSRs need to have a load for me to see something?
I have 2 SSR on the RC-4.

Thanks in advance.

shouldn't the baud rate be 2400 for the Prop1?

SYMBOL  Baud            = OT2400


"Baud Rate Selection
The RC-4 supports two baud rates: 2400 baud for the Prop-1, and 38.4k baud for other microcontrollers. Baud
rate is set with a jumper on the Baud header.
Jumper Baud Rate
Out 2400 (Prop-1)
In 38.4k (Other controllers)

The Debug screen for the Prop-1 communicates at 4800 baud, the baud rate from the Prop-1 to the RC-4 is 2400.

Check the following:
-- all RC-4 jumpers removed
-- check WRB (white red black) polarity on both ends
-- make sure that the RC-4 is plugged into the Prop-1 (nothing between the Prop-1 and RC-4)
-- in the software, make sure the target address is %00

 ;D Thanks...it was the second jumper...Now the debug give me status on each.

Now I can try to write a little program to turn it on....pause turn it off...using the PIR. 

THANKS!!
