Donny M. Carter Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Hooked up my idmx-1000, found it in the hardware utility, plugged in my dmx flood on the dmx out side. I set my fixtures dip switches 1 & 10 (booklet says "when 1, 10 are on and 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,& 9 are off, the light will accept dmx signal"). Opened console in the HWU set my controller type,unit id, and channel mode. Can not get light to come on. Suggestions please. Thanks a million.DonnyLet me add that I do not have a terminator plug in. Maybe this is my problem.
Donny M. Carter Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 To give an update. It was my old laptop causing the problem. Tried it on my wifes new laptop and my desk top and all is well. This is working out good for me because guess who is getting a new laptop! ME!!

LightORamaDan Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 What version of the OS was on the old Laptop? Just wondering because it would be great to get a new laptop but in general it should not have been the problem.Dan
