I switched over from LOR and I originally tried using the Lor Network and USB dongle it created such a pain in the ass I switched over to all DMX . Do yourself a favor and give up on the LOR stuff running off there dongle. Run everything in DMX mode and I guarantee you'll thank me later. I went as far as to quit using my LOR AC controllers, I built Renard controllers to replace them. Unless you're using their software that will send out the commands for the built-in twinkle and Shimmer there's no advantage to running their dongle in my opinion
