Can't make pixel tree work?

[jim noel]

I just bought a an E1.31 pixel tree, that uses 12 universes. Trying to test with computer I have used LOR on. I cannot make the pixel tree function. I've checked software configurations, the LOR controller connects. When I run a test sequence nothing happens. The pixel tree uses a Joshua1 controller that connects via Ethernet. The computer is a single pentium processor with 3gigs of memory.  I'm new to the pixel stuff, so bear with my inexperience. What am I not doing right?

Did you set the ip address for the controller to match ip address of your lan line

[jim noel]

Yes I verified that and I can go to http//10.10.10.10 and get to the controller LOR listener also recognizes it

When I had to test my pixels I had to have he USB485 dongle from LOR plugged in, don't ask me why but it worked for me, plug in the dongle and then plug in your sand device unit using a cat 5 cable into the ethernet port on the back of your computer or laptop, ( I don't know what you are using)

In lor did you set the network preference to E1-31 and add the ip address

since this is the xLights/Nutcracker forum, did you try using the xLights TEST function?  If your network settings are correct in xLights, that will give you a good test for the J1Sys box. (Is it the 12 output or the 2 output?)

Voila! I had to to tell my antivirus software to allow traffic through those ports. Thank you everyone for your time and your help. Jim
