thanks for taking some time in your things to help, but tell me how to add more channels to the same port to fill it before going to the next port? can i do a chain of windows with power injection of course?  thanks, I hope in the future to learn everything, so do not bother you with so many question. lol

in your xlights setup go to the second window and just give it a new start channel number of 4993.  where is says start channel ( now its says something about window one) that's where it would go.

when I was running e682 I had a chart with port numbers
  1-1   50 nodes    start channel 1
  1-2   50 nodes    start channel 151

 2-2   100 nodes   start channel 601
 2-3   100 nodes   start channel 901

this way what model came off each port I knew what channel to assign it.
tricks to help out. 
 and yes you can do 2 windows off each port. still would leave 120 free channels on that port.

I told you exactly how to fix it.

thanks Gil and Jimmy I will do what you recommend me, my intention is to use each of the channels of each port, thanks again.

Nelson I asked the guys on the xLights Facebook group and they say there is new firmware you can load on the E682 that allows you to specify the number of pixels for every port instead of being restricted to each bank being the same size for all 4 ports.

[Nelson Cabrera]

thank you Gil GOOD NEWS..

Gil and Jimmy I have fixed the problem the way you explained to me, 4_1 is working well with the arch, 4_2 is working well with window 1, and 4-3 is working well with window 2. as the controller is configured with 136 pixels and the windows only use 44 pixels, I do not know if I'm wrong but I lose 88 pixels in each port, right ?? so if I change to a single line of 136 pixel , will this work? and I will not lose channels

I never lose channels, but I certainly have plenty of spare channels for future use in lots of places in my layout.  Don't let your glass be half full when it can be half empty or vice versa.
