Scratching my head over lost 1-8 channels

[crazyred]

Have one of the first CTB16D boards made. Channels 1-8 do not work in a sequence. Run Hardware software and I can get the channels to turn on. Confirmed power to the board and fuse is good. Could it be a firmware issue on the older board (ver 3.0) running the latest software version???

Wow this is interesting. You say that using the Hardware utility that you can control channels 1-16 for that controller. Yet when you run a sequence channels 1-8 do not operate. And I presume that you do have channels that are programmed with this unit number and channels 1-8. Very interesting. Try to do a controller reset. I cant say that this would do it. But it is quick and does not cost anything to try.

Controller reset???? How do I do that???

Remove power from the board; turn the setting dials to 0 0; power up the board for a few seconds; remove power from the board; set ID dials back to the unit ID number that you want to use; power up the board as normal.

I would suggest you also run the Verifier.

It appears to be either a bad CAT5 cable or a bad network connector on the board. Isolated the problem controller on its own cable and daisy chained the rest. Crossing my fingers
