How to use PCI-CAN LS (low speed can bus card) with hi speed devices

I'm having problems connecting the low speed card to the hi speed devices: I've setup the bus with 120 ohms resistors terminating it. The devices seem to be working fine but the can card doesn´t seem to receive or send anything. It has rth and rtl of 510ohms. The card and devices are at 125kbps. I ran the card diagnostics and it passed them. Is it really possible to use this low speed card with a hi speed bus? Don't I have to do something special for it to work on hi speed bus? Any sugestion is highly appreciated! thank you

I guess this question is related to the previous question that you posted. At present CAN Hardware Engineers are looking into the possible reasons for the comm errors you are seeing in Labview. I had posted a couple of questions for you in the last discussion thread. Please keep me posted on the results.

Hello Danut,
I was able to set up a Low Speed CAN card to talk to a High speed port on another computer( simulating a high speed device). I did not have any termination resistors on the cable. Initially, I saw the same Comm errors you mentioned and this was because the cable I was using was internally terminated. So please check that the cables are not terminated. Also , verify that the high speed device itself is not terminated ( measure the resistance between CAN_H and CAN_L, with the cable connected and without the cable).
Let me know if you were able to get the system up and running. Also do you have any low speed devices that can be used to test teh CAN card with?
