Ekos is not picking up my Nikon D5300 camera correctly

This afternoon after updating the StellarMate OS I tried to connect only 2 devices on my StellarMate Plus. (I also have a separate USB Hub that only has the dew heater).  The Pegasus Pocket Box connected with no issues every time.  The other device which was the Nikon D5300 did not connect once.

There were times that the Nikon camera showed up in the INDI Control Panel, but the majority of the time it didn't show up at all.

I tried sorting this out with making assignments in the Serial Port Assistant.  I got an error message saying something to the effect that you can't add duplicate devices.

The Nikon camera did show up as not connected for a while but after I pulled out and plugged back in the Nikon's power cable in the Pegasus device it did not show up again.

My PPB is registering at port 0.

The Nikon camera is showing up in the USB listing.

 

Does everything look correct in this listing?

Any ideas in how to get the Nikon D5300 listing in the INDI Control Panel?

Just to bring my issue to closure; I reviewed the StellarMate Faq's and there was a handful of possible causes of the failure to connect.   stellarmate.com/support/faq.html?view=faq&faqid=27

I went through this list up to the point of receiving a new Nikon to StellarMate video cable.  Today I tested the new cable out and believe it or not it worked.  I went back to the old cable to see if this might be a fluke.  Even though this connection can be found by doing the lsUSB command the old cable did not connect properly.

This issue is resolved and another lesson was learned.
