Good Morning All
I can't get my D4 to show link lights when connecting to the DC48 (does it need to)
Looks like the D4 is setup correct - thanks to YL for this.
Any Help would be great
Thanks
Paul
 
Hi Paul,
I've not seen a D4 close up so not sure what LEDs it has on it.

I guess the first thing to ask is do the Ethernet LEDs on the DR4 come on or flash?

If so, can you access the D4 via a browser to set it up? (universe, etc)
 
Thanks David
Yes the D4 is accessible - YL Set that up for me :)I used a normal cat5/6 cable from the d4 to the dc48.

a few pictures - at the moment it doesnt matter what lights i have hooked up does it - we just need to test if data is getting to board?
Thanks
 
What software are you using to send data to the D4 ?

Unless you have keel-alives turned on, there won't be any DMX activity unless you send the D4 some E1.31 data to pass onto the DC48.
 
yeah it is a strange one David. i was helping Paul with it and we setup the keepalive and also used your software for testing.
 
ok i loaded up da_start
and now the light on the d4 (orange is flashing) and the dmx light on the board is flashing
