SFC SKI Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I can not configure my CCRs because I programed all my lights prior to the upgrades and I dont speak hex. In my layout I used a separate channel for each of my CCRs. I also split the arches and the 12 CCR tree across four LOR controllers. This begins my trouble.CCR arch 1 LOR Controller 3 plug 5CCR arch 2 LOR controller 3 Plug 6CCR arch 3 LOR Controller 3 Plug 7CCR arch 4 LOR controller 3 plug 8--------------------------------------------------For the big tree I used leg 1-4 on controller 6 and plug 13-16 leg 5-8 on controller 7 and plug 1-4 leg 9-12 on contoller 8 and plug 1-4-----------------------------------------------------------------------------So how would I set up my networks to handle this split or do I need to change all my songs?Is there anyone out there who can talk me through this????

George Simmons Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to accomplish Sarge. It sounds like you're looking at plugging the CCRs into conventional controllers. I can't think of any reason to do that. Each CCR comes with it's own individual controller. The CCR controllers need to be assigned unique unit ID numnbers and then daisy-chained with each other using Cat5 (just like every controller on that same network), but the CCRs should be powered by plugging them into conventional ac power receptacles - not into other controllers.

SFC SKI Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Please diregard everything prior to now...I sat down, locked my self in a room and read/practiced the manual.New problem. When I add my subsequence to the first channel above my existing sequence all appears functional. When I play the sequence I have extra leds on the ccr that are lighting up. I erased my entire show to see if I had a conflict. Not the issue. I did get an error message when I tried to export the sequence using the superstar program. (four arches and no star) the error was: channel name of ccr04-CI is not a star channel or CCR Ribbon channel, channel not channelized. In the config set up of the Superstar Lights seq. editior my CCRs start on 12-0c my network is standard with 1-01 being the first and 12-0c being the last.On the hardware config on the LOR I set up my CCRs to be 0C,0D,0E,0F.somewhere in the mix of these varibles is my problem, I am sure of it.I am not using the visualizer yet, I have the CCRs daisy chained together and plugged straight into comm port 4.2. do I have to use the LOR controller? Why cant I plug 6 CCRs into one comm port; 6 into another; the LORcontrollers into another and the 4arch CCRs into my last comm port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 And this is why we should avoid starting multiple threads with the same question in a short amount of time.There is some more information here in the other thread you started: http://forums.lightorama.com/forum96/29098.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
