Connected machine, no response

When I open machine control I get this in the communication panel:

Though Simplify says the printer is connected, the jog controls are not functional and the printer doesn't return temperature data. No other functions are responsive either. Where do I go from here to troubleshoot? Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.

I tested this with versions 3.1.1 and 4.1.1 of Simplify3D. My printer is a Taz 5 with version 1.1.9.28 of Marlin. The printer is communicates properly with the Lulzbot edition of Cura.

The odd characters in the Communication Log indicate a mismatch in the Baud Rate settings. I believe Lulzbot changed this with their most recent Firmware update. Please switch to 250000 from 115200. Please let me know if this does not fix the issue.

I have run into the same problem, and yes the fix is changing the Baud rate to 250000. Just like the other user, I had just updated the firmware.
