ClydeL Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Today was the day for testing and setting up the RGB tree line. Was trying to hook up the new CMD24D that I got during the summer sale. Read the manual and learned that these units require the dipswitch to set the unit ID number. Well, they come pre-shipped as unit 01. Plugged into the RS485 and searched using the LOR Hardware Utility. Nice, found it right away. But when I go to change the unit number and REFRESH the hardware utility, the unit number stay's the same. It does not change from 01. Hate to say that I miss the old "select and set" method for the PC16 units. So is the unit ID changed? I have dipswitch 8 on, and all others are off. It should be set to controller number 2 right now. But in hardware utility still says 01. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdipaola73 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Hey Clyde I had the same issue. Software. Computers. Blah. I rebooted PC and powered down the 24 2-3 times and it clicked. I'm sure you already tried that. I also reset the unit to default once and started from the beginning. Wish I had a good answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbmurray210 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I had this same problem today, the dip switches do set the id # for the units. Mine is unit 3 and had to turn switches 8&9 on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
