Controler Unit ID

[Ted W]

I have 5 controller from last year, and am operating from a new computer this year with LOR 2.9.4 software. When I hit refresh to find the units, I find all but unit 2. I have tried resettingt the unit ID back to 2, but it cannot find it. The troubling part is that in the console I can operate the lights to each channel. What am is missing?

Thanks for the help.

when you try to reset the unit id is it seperate from all the other controllers? in the hu you can only have one controll hooked up while setting unit id

Btw, when I try to set the ID, I get a diologue box that states unable to find the unit, check connections and power

Yes, I boght 2 more controllers and were able to set their ID's to number 6 and 7 without any problems

Yes. Without the Cat5 cable it is blinking, when I plug it into the center connector, it stops blinking.

Yes. Without the Cat5 cable it is blinking, when I plug it into the center connector, it stops blinking.

I can have it connected with box 3, and I can find box 3, so it seems like th signal is flowing through box 2 to get to 3, if that helps

it is reading the controller,are you familer with a controller reset? maybe if you reset the controller it will work itself out. it will reset the unit id to one,

Not familiar with this, have not reset. I tried to set to all, then back to 2, did not work. How do you reset the controller?

This was built from a kit, hs the 32 channel green board and red LED

I have connected directly to the PC, and if I go into the console, and it to number 2, I can make it work for all the channels

This suggests your controller is working. Reset can't hurt, but I don't think thats your issue.

Recommend you verify each controllers ID, and ensure you have good cat-5 cables...do it one at a time via the HU. That eliminates the potential for confusion, and errors setting unit IDs with multiple controllers connected.

What's your level of software license?

What's your level of software license?

Good point. Didn't even think about that.

[Max-Paul]

Thought that with basic. You are forced to ID the two controllers #1 & #2. Thought that basic would not even recognize a #3 or higher?

[james campbell]

What's your level of software license?

I checked his profile and it says standard,so thats good

Thanks for the help. I am still having the issue. I have 7 controllers are hooked together and working. The hardware utility can find 6 of 7, missing unit 2. When I go into the console, I can select unit 2, and have validated every channel works. Based on this, I know the stuff is working, just not showing up as being recognized. I tried several times to change the ID, change it to all, then back to 2, tried a reset, but could not really find anything in the book that was different than what I had done earlier.

All my Cat 5 and power is good, seems to work with all the other stuff, just not on the list, not sure if it matters, just do not want to find out at the minute, showtime, there is a issue.

Thanks for all the help
