Can not get new hardware to connect via com port USB

Recommended Posts

Ok, I've read several others with this problem and I think I've followed the easy steps. I purchased the download of LOR software. (so I don't have a CD)
I have a new PC with WIndows 7. I've downloaded the drivers from VCP site. I now have a com3 usb with no yellow icon in it in my control panel.
I did go through FTclean and reinstall the drivers to get the warning yellow to go away.
I'm using a 16 controller I used last year on a different computer. (Windows XP)
I can hook it to that computer and it all works fine.
I unplug the usb cable and plug in in my WIndows 7 machine
and the auto config button in the hardware utility can't find anything.

Any ideas?

When I use comm 1 or comm2 or comm 4 I get :


"The serial port (Comm2) assigned to LOR has a problem.
You may need to select another port.

Open of serial port 2 has failed.

Error:(8002)Invalid Port Number
While:Executing Port Open Property"


I have been running the LOR sequence editor and going into Network preferences and setting the comm port.
When I use anything other than Comm3 it barks at me.
But when I use Comm3 and it seems ok, the lights don't work and in the hardware utility when I click to do a search it can't seem to find the controller and it fails.

Ok, done all that.
I'm using com3 and that is correct.
I downloaded a hardware utility from the D-Light website and it works.
It uses com port 3.
I can turn on the lights, off the lights.
Everything is fine.
So I guess the next issue is why won't the LOR utility can't see controller?
I'd like to use the LOR system but can't get it to talk.

I've discovered when I bring up the console I need to set the unit Id to 02

Not sure why the D-Light hardware utility talks to it right away and the LOR doesn't find it in a discover.

I'm running a LOR CTB16
