jstech2 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I have been using the same equipment for the past few years (1 - LOR1602-G3-MP3 and 3 CTB16PC controllers, same PC. I did upgrade to the latest version of the software S4. I am also using the same sequences that I wrote last year (I have verified that the controller addresses are correct in sequences). Yesterday I installed everything, connected the boxes via my Cat5 cable and I never can see all 4 boxes via the Hardware Diagnostics. Sometime I can see only 1 box. Sometimes I can see two. The position of the boxes mean that I need to daisy them in the following network order: (4 (1602-mpr) - 2 - 3 - 1) I didn't think this would make any difference - does it? I have swapped out the Cat5 cables, rebooted everything multiple times, prayed to the LOR gods... I can't figure out what is wrong...Exact same setup as last year and this is driving me crazy! Any idea? JE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasa1952 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I had the same thing happened. I ended up taking the laptop out and connected to each controller making sure you only have one connected. starting with the first and reset each to their controller ID 01-02-03-04 and refresh after setting and checked to see if I could control the lights. After checking this on all the controller's I then reconnected the cat5 Cables I checked the hardware and did a refresh. I had to go through this process twice before it would set. I ran my Halloween show with 4 LOR 16 AC controller's and 2 AlphaPix for my roofline, Windows and doors. I hope this helps.

jstech2 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 thanks nasa1952. I figured out most of the problem. I haven't confirmed this yet but it looks like the Software S4 requires a firmware upgrade on the units. I uninstalled S4 and reinstalled S3 and then created a new sd card. 3 out of the 4 boxes are working fine. Tomorrow I will hook up the Cat 5 to my laptop and check out the hardware comm and see what is happening. Happy Holidays back at ya- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
