jerrymac Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Switching LOR controllers to run DMX mode rather than LOR Protocol:Got the cross over cable from a E1.31 Protocol converter to the first LOR 16 controller (firmware to 4.2 + etc), for controllers after the first one in line do you use regular cat 5 for the daisy chain after the first or do you need a cross over cable between each subsequent controller?

jstorms Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 You only need to cross over for the first one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Once the first crossover cable has moved the signal over to the pins LOR uses, normal cat5 will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDooT3 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm trying to run my LOR CTB16PC controllers in DMX mode as well. What DMX controller would you recommend using to control the LOR controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej012160 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Can I ask a spinoff question? I am having what I think are throughput issues with my CTB16PC and I think I can convert from the LOR protocol input signal to a DMX signal to resolve the throughput issues. I just checked my LOR controller--it is a CTB16PC G3 version 1.04. I assume the version 1.04 means firmware 1.04. Will this controller automatically "see" the DMX signal input to it? Or do I need to update firmware to get that functionality?? I see that firmware version 1.08 is available for download. Thanks very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
