Hey Everyone!
I'm new here and was hoping you all can help me. I bought a huge amount of stuff from someone who was getting out of decorating with lights. I received several different types of controllers, including a LOR CTB16PCG3 and a USB485B adapter.
I have been using Vixen for several years to control various pixels and controllers, and would like to continue using the software. How can I physically set up the LOR controller and get it set up on my computer? I tried connecting Computer -> USB cable -> USB adapter -> Cat5 cable (Normal, not crossover) -> CTB16PC. But when I tried to use the Light-O-Rama 5.5.16 Demo Hardware application to set it up, the controller wasn't even recognized. (I installed all the drivers, went into device manager to see the COM number, and put that in to the application). Still I don't see anything.
I have seen some people say I need to use a crossover cable, and I tried that, and still nothing worked. So I have two main questions:
a) How do I get the computer to even recognize the controller?
b) How do I get Vixen to connect to the controller? (I've heard I could use DMX, but don't really know how to do that: would I need a DMX adapter?)
Thanks everyone!

Since my CMB24D is also not working I'm thinking the problem is with the E682.
