Scott Tuthill Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Working on a 100 bulb Cosmic Color Bulb set configured in Dual Normal Unit ID Mode. In the Hardware Utility I set the first unit to ID number 10 and did a Refresh. The refresh still only shows one Unit ID on the network. Is this normal? And yes I have the Max Unit ID set to 11 so the second unit should show up. Then investigating the CB100D in the Console shows this: * With Unit ID 10 selected I can control the whole string. In other words channels 161-320 are still active and controlling the second string of lights.* With Unit ID 11 selected channels 1-160 are controlling the second string of lights -- which is what I expected. So, this seems to suggest that a second Unit ID has been assigned, though I can't see it in the Hardware Utility. So, it appears that there are two Unit ID's with separate channel numbers both controlling the second string of lights. Is this the way it should work? At this point in time I am not sure if it is going to cause me any issues as I start sequencing. And yes the CB100D has the latest firmware. Thanks for any thoughts or advice.

George Simmons Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sounds like they're working fine. You won't see the second ID in the HU. If your sequences have the correct unit ID in the channel configs all will be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I am using 8 ccp controllers in duel normal mode, and in the hardware utility it only shows controllers 1-8. That is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tuthill Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Replying to my own post here. Some of the issues relative to the behavior of the Console in the Hardware Utility were resolved when I upgraded to LOR 4.1.2. However I still only see one Unit ID when I refresh the network. Though, at this point, the CB100D is behaving like it has the expected second unit ID. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 as mentioned, in duel mode you will not see the 2nd ID # in HWU. example: 3 CCPs with ID # 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in duel mode will show ID# 1, 3, 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Lane Lights Etown Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I am also new to CCB's and experienced this same dual ID issue. All works well. The next hurdle will be bulb one at the controller or at the other end and did you flip that during Unit ID setup. "two flips equal no flip" The bulbs are fun to work with, though and well worth the time to sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
