Tired for a few hours no luck looking the apim is gone unless someone can guide me in different direction

What’s the APIM model read by forscan?.
Also, why did you omit sending the syn3updater log ?

i Get the u2101 code in forscan and i was following a steps on update and it didn’t say the log was necessary a bad call now not knowing it was going to cause this

I assume you get that DTC, that should not prevent Forscan from accessing the APIM and reading information from it.

It didn’t, but it was requested when you created this thread and you just put “N/A”

The log had nothing to do with your current situation
