mattforry Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hey, I'm entering the world of E1.31 for this decorating season. My E1.31 devices are the "E1.31 SACN To DMX Interface Bridge" and Holiday CORO's "Alpha Pix 4." For some reason I can not seem to get either to communicate with LOR. My current setup is my computer connect to a switch then the switch into the Alpha Pix 4. (direct connect and connect to the switch has not made a difference). I have two other programs that work with the device. The programs are "JINX" and "X-Lights 2012b". I have uninstalled and reinstalled LOR a few times and have tried it on multiple computers. All computers ASUS running Windows 8 and 10. As on now I have run out of ideas to try. Any suggestion would be great! Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattforry Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Would that be under the "Protocol/Port" next to the "IP Address" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 In the light o Rama sequence editor you go to network preferences and enter the E1-31 controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxon Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Are they both (controller and LOR) set the same - multi or unicast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattforry Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have a video conference with one of the Holiday CORO Engineers and he said he thinks it is a sequencing issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this screenshot I don't see the comm listener running on your taskbar. I only see the sequence editor and network preferences open. You have to have the comm listener running for anything to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattforry Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I was not connected my controllers at that time, the screenshot was to show the channels in the sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebuechner Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Try changing your port to 5568. For instance click on Universe 1 a box should open up where you set your static IP on the bottom is the port. change that to 5568. This is in network configuration Edited March 12, 2016 by Ebuechner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebuechner Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm happy that it worked out for you. I noticed it in your screenshot of your network configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Does anyone know why the port was an issue for the OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
