truelight Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I have a e1.31 converter like this...Converter I am running 3 different universes and universe 1 and 3 work great but universe 2 doesn't work at all. As far as my simple mind can see they are setup the same on the controller page and in LoR. I've tried everything I can think of with no luck (factory reset, replacing cat5 cable, replacing dumb controller, unplugging everything downline except first controller, moved everything to port 4) and all I can think of that's left is a new converter. I've never been super happy with this one. Does anyone have a e1.31 (sACN) that you have been happy with. I'd like to have 3 universes but I'm willing to buy multiple converters if they work well.

k6ccc Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Can't give a lot of help as you did not provide much detail. A couple things to check. If the converter has a built in test utility, can you test the devices on Universe 2? That will help determine if the issue is upstream or downstream of the converter. If you swap the DMX devices on Universe 2 with one of the other Universes, does the problem follow the devices, or the Universe? Does the converter give any status indication that might help (such as packet counts per universe)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a test device for each universe, only the converter itself and even then it's really only to change IP address not really a test function. The problem follows the devices. However, I didn't try universe 2 on other devices, just universe 1 on the hardware that wasn't working. It lights up with the 'DMX' connection like expected.
