How to fix the CAT ET SIS error #142 - requested baud rate is invalid

This means you have communication error between your CAT II / III adapter and the CAT ET Sis software setup. Usually it is a simple fix.

- In the CAT software go to UTILITIES   =>   PREFERENCES   =>  COMMUNICATIONS
- CHOOSE: CATERPILLAR COM ADAPTER II 
- CHOOSE under PORTS: COM 7
- Click "OK" 
- Restart the computer and usually that is all you need to do.

But if the above steps do not work, then your adapter is setup on a different COM PORT. In which case watch the video below on how to find which com port your CAT II / III (317-7485 or 317-7484) adapter is using and match it with the CAT ET SIS software to fix the CAT #142 error message.
