deej012160 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Similar question here. I am planning to usef an LOR CTBPC16 this year to drive 16 AC channels and use a SanDevices E682 to drive four non-LOR RGB pixel arches. I am not sure how to configure the CAT5 signal to the E682. Do I need to "split" the CAT5 downstream of the LOR-supplied USB RS485 dongle? Or can I just route a CAT5 directly from my PC or from our home's internet router? If I am reading some of these posts correctly, it looks like my PC and E682 both need to be hardwired to my router?? Thanks very much in advance.

SWood Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 You can either connect it to your router, straight to your network card or install a second network card for the e.131 data only. (which is what I did) DO NOT connect it to your LOR USB485 network! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-Paul Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Network ports on a laptop can have a time out per say. It is a means to save battery power. Might open the start button, then the settings button and control panel and then hardware and network card. Look for a power saving setting such as turn off this device to save power.

Max-Paul Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Check your settings, control panel, system, device hardware, then network adapter. From here look for a tap that might say something about power. What you are looking for is a box that can be checked or unchecked. You do not want to let the computer to power off the device (network adapter). Might also need to look in your power settings and make sure that nothing goes asleep or hibernate.
