SnappyTom Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ok got it 12 channel tree set up and went to the Hardware untility to see some lights and can only turn on about 6 light on the bottom of a strand is coming on. Hummm all the CCR are set to normal. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 In the LOR Control tab of the Hardware Utility you can only control 16 channels at a time. The CCR has 150 (plus macros)Click the "Console" button at the bottom of the LOR Control tab. You'll want Extended Circuit ID's and either LOR % or DMX settings.

SnappyTom Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I changed it to extended and now can get about 25% of the lights to come on. Still working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Since you've verified you can talk to the units, I'd just stop there and move along to the sequence editor. The HWU is of limited use for large channel count items like CCR's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnappyTom Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I have an ELL on each network leaving my computer. Is that a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappyTom Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I have max amout of unit id at 11 and it finds 17?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Farmer Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I've seen that before. turned out to be noise on the line. Make sure you have all good connection and good cables. I have short cables that I crated myself that test OK with an ethernet tester, but when switched out, the problem went away.Same thing caused countrollers to have ?????? in the description.I found it by searching for controllers with only a couple of controllers connected and then slowely added controllers until I started having problems, replaced the last cable and it worked.

Don Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I have max amout of unit id at 11 and it finds 17??????11 in Hex is 17 in decimal (or whatever numbering system we humans use.)I have an ELL on each network leaving my computer. Is that a problem?I doubt it, but to rule it out, disconnect the ELL from the network you are not currently testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappyTom Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Oh no Frank it didnt have ???????? in the discription it would reconize 17 and I was puzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappyTom Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Don even if I unplug the USB on one of the networks it still sees all 17 controlers on both networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappyTom Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 unpluged the other USB to the other network and it cant find any controlers. i m sure its something simple but i cant quite get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try something simple. Connect one ELL and CCR Controller to one USB485B, and another ELL and CCR controller to the other USB485B.That would be two different networks configured.

SnappyTom Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I have 2 USBs and 2 485B and 2 ELLs that should give me the two coms and two networks. Yes? and I have the two networks setup in the CCR sequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes? and I have the two networks setup in the CCR sequences.That should give you two networks. However, if you are seeing all 17 on one network, then they aren't separated out. I don't use the ELL's enough to know if they would be causing the problem or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Farmer Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Tom,I understand that your running a set of ELL's to run 6 of your CCRibons, What is the other ELL for on the other network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
