Smart differential receiver

Hi everyone I hope your displays are coming together smoothly. I just have a question about this receiver. I just wanted to check it is setup correctly as I'm having some issues with all 4 ports lighting up correctly. I have setup receiver A and it is working perfectly but receiver B is not wanting to play the game, B is the last in the line and I have switched the terminator switches on. Some of the lights come on but don't cycle through in test mode and other props just have the first light on. I have attached a pic of both receivers could you please tell me if I have set them up correctly and if I have what else could be causing the issue. Thankyou for your time

Your switches all look good (although the #2 switch on receiver A looks half-on)
The concern is that none of them for Data LEDs on the second receiver are lit. This would imply an issue with the CAT5e cable between them, or one of the glands etc you might be using.

Unrelated but the wire from the power supply to the receiver looks quite thin, I hope your not loading up those pixel ports.

I am running the Ethernet approx 50m from receiver A to receiver B that could be causing my issue? I'm only running a couple small props off the receiver

If I recall, it "should" be good for about 75m, came quality dependent. But, you might want you just bring it close in the interim just for trouble shooting. You can then introduce the long cable once you have validated everything else is operational

Good idea I tried that I brought receiver B close to A with short Ethernet and still having same issue. Data lights are still off on receiver and I'm only getting the first led light up on the prop

Could be a bung receiver or port. Try plugging in directly from the controller to the B receiver, bypass A. It'll tell you if A is having an issue or if it's B
