seriouslylosingit Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Hello All, I decided after my mini director was not working right today that I would try to use the hardware utility and RS485 and get my way it's set up to work from my computer. I haven't ever done it this way so I'm sure that I'm doing something incorrectly.When I test the lights in the hardware utility they work. When I try to control the lights using a sequence they don't. I have hardeare utility closed. So there's only one program running. I am first connected to the RS485, then to my CMB24, then to my 16 channel controller, When I select play this sequence. I get solid lights on both my 16 channel unit and my RGB unit. I imagine I am overlooking something simple. I don't know if I need to rename my controllers. Just trying to figure out why it won't light the lights when I play a sequence..Thank you for your help in advance. I appreciate it Edited October 2, 2015 by seriouslylosingit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks4legs Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Have you set your network preferences in LOR and do you have the LOR control panel running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriouslylosingit Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 I thought I had set my network preferences. Maybe not? What do I need to do within that menu? Or how do I need to set it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_b Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I had similar issue this afternoon. I have 3 DC controllers and 1 AC hooked up for Halloween. They all worked fine in Hardware Utility, but not when I played in SE. Only the 16 channel AC and the CMB24 DC would work, but not the other 2 CMB16 DC controllers. I went to my Network Preferences and I had the speed of the network set to 500k. I changed it back to 57.6k and everything worked after that. Maybe someone can chime in on the "why" this worked this way. I thought the 500k speed was supposed to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriouslylosingit Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 I didn't have my channels assigned properly. I haven't connected the 2nd cmb24 controller, but hoping this remedies it.. Will keep you posted..Thanks for all suggestions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
