hotwheelerguy2 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Alright, so i'm having some trouble getting LOR S3 to control our RGB lights. Last year everything ran fine, so I figured I would just be able to hook it up this year and everything would work, unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. I can control the RGB pixel strips from the E682 test page, and from xlights, but not from LOR S3. Here is a list of how everything is set up, please let me know if anything looks wrong or if you need any more information. The E682 is set at IP address 169.254.74.73I'm running multicast LOR comm listener is running (see screenshots for details)Control lights is checked I'm using the same channel configuration I was last year and it worked fine then, so that shouldn't be the issue. Thanks in advance to anyone who could be able to help me get this working, if you need any more information, just ask. Thanks again, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 If your IP address of your E682 is 169.254.74.73 than that is the IP address that should be in the network preferences in unicast, the numbers you have in the network what are they for?

I'm trying to run multicast, not unicast. Although I've tried unicast and can't get that to work either.What is the IP of your computer? 169.254.94.192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Assuming your computer is running as a class C subnet (subnet mask of 255.255.255.0), that's not going to work. Even if your two network devices are on the same switch or even plugged directly into each other, if they are not on the same logical subnet, the computer is going to route the traffic to the default gateway. That's the way IP is supposed to work. Change either the IP address of the E682 or your computer so that the first three octets are the same and the last octet is different.

jimswinder Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Crap...just found out my problem...in LOR Network Preferences I had everything set as Multicast...but just noticed the Sandevice was set as Unicast...

My subnet mask is showing as 255.255.0.0, not 255.255.255.0, on both my computer and the E682, so you are saying that I should change my subnet mask on my computer to 255.255.255.0? Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are both using 255.255.0.0, unfortunately, LOR still isn't commmunicating with the E682. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Sometimes it's useful to go back and read the thread from the beginning. You state that you can communicate with the E682 to see the setup page on it. Can you post a screen shot of that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because LOR puts those in automatically when you check Multicast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
