Configuring MP3 Directors

 

You can use the Hardware Utility to scan for Light-O-Rama Directors.

 

Before Scanning

 

Before scanning for Directors, check that:

Only 1 Director is attached to the USB adapter, and the cable from the adapter is plugged into Network 1 of the Director.

There is no SD card in the slot

The Director has power:

oIf you are using a Light-O-Rama USB485B (adapter with booster), it will supply power to the Director.

oIf there is also a LOR controller with accessory power in the daisy chain, then it can supply power.

oOtherwise, connect an external 12V DC power supply to the unit's barrel jack.
