SnappyTom Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hi all....Ok I got my new 48 channel from WOW today! Now the fun starts. In the hardware utility I Id the 3 controllers one at a time. they all worked in the test mode. I then connected them via cat5 cables. I refreshed and all were Identified. When I pluged a couple lights in each controller and played a sequence, only one controller would activate lights. I went into the sequence editor and checked the amout of controller and 16 was picked. Now there is not an option to enter 48. Any Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
displaysinmotion_will Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 if i am understanding you correctly you have 3 16 channel boards correct?in order for them to show up correctly each one has to have its own unique numberexample01-1 through 01-1602-1 through 02-1603-1 through 03-16ora1-1 through a1-16a2-1 through a2-16a3-1 through a3-16everything is in 16 incrementsso after your first board of 16 you start over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

displaysinmotion_will Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 so lets rewind a little bit, when you first started did you select 48 channels asyour circuit count'>pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You can get a full listing if you have S2 as the software package to go to tools, channel property grid. This will even allow you to print it out. Much easier to configure additional channels here than one at a time.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
