HLE Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I have 5-16 channel residential controllers. I have purchased some sequences from LOR and have found they don’t sequence after the 4th controller (64 channels). So being the bright guy I thought I was, I copied the sequencing for the 1st controller and put it in the 5th controller. However, I still don’t have any lights. I know the port and communication to the controller is good because I can go into the hardware utility and turn them on there but when I go to tuna seauence, nothing comes on. Is there something in their sequences that won’t let me copy and paste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Unit ID’s? Confirm you have the unit ID set in #5 Also on cell so can’t see your license level. Are you licensed enough? JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLE Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yeah. I confirmed the unit Id was 5 and I’m licensed at the pro level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibblejr Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I’ve said it 1000 times. Because you have lights in HU means nothing to do with running your light show. Two different animals. HU will only confirm your unit ID , some settings and that if you have lights connected that are in working condition - they work. Nothing more. Once you exit HU if your network is not correct you will have NO lights. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougP Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Do you have the 5th controller channels assigned in your sequences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming LOR / Regular / 500k / Enhanced If that unit 5 is set correctly and is not working it may be a gen 2 controller and will not work with gen 3. Would need. A network of its own to be used . JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any quick steps on making a second network? I have tried in the past and failed everytime. I do have the black adapter for the slower networks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the black adapter for the slower networks It easy 1- connect another adapter 2- connect the controller to that adapter and openHU 3- select the comm port on left 4- hopefully it is comm 4 5 - answer NO- to the “comm .... is selected, is this the comm port you’d like to use for show” 6- refresh the “controller to configure” 7- ensure it finds the #5 8- If so close HU 9- go to NP - Network pref 10- LOR tab 11- aux A 12- speed 57.6 13- apply 14- ok 15- go to the SE 16- Tools 17- channel config 18- change device 19- select unit 5 20- change the network to aux A save Done about 5 mins of work JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Note- do not use “auto config” in HU comm port unless absolutely unavoidable and do not hit refresh for the comm port. It May take you a while to recover if you do either of those if answer “yes” to the “is this the com port to use for shows”. Once again NO is the answer for that JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I answered no to using the second network as the show network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, know which is Regular and which will be AuxA And Which one will be enhanced) In the sequence editor Tools:channel configuration: Change controller(a button): <select>:: adjust 'Network':OK: OK again for the last) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
