How do I set the jumpers so that my 16 port passive hub is an extension beyond my active hub.
I want my active hub to be channels
1-4096
and my passive hub be
4097-8192
I see pixenet and universe as jumpers on my hubs.
i thought pixelnet would be set to 2 on the second passive hub, it didnt work.
thanks

I believe that is correct and then the first node on the 2 universe is set to channel 1 on the SSC and 4097 in the sequence software.

I believe both jumpers need to be set to 2 on the second hub.

This is from the PDF in the wiki, I hope it helps.
Understanding Channel Numbers
HubPixelNet Jumpers SSC Channel # LSP Channel #
1 1 & 1 1 - 4096 1 - 4096
2 2 & 2 1 - 4096 4097 – 8192
3 3 & 3 1 - 4096 8193 -12288
4 4 & 4 1 - 4096 12289- 16384

Ok;
My first light show is in the books.
But i need to do something to align the start channels.
I programmed my 20 x 120- strings (7200 channels)
String 1: channel 1- 360
String 2: Channel 361 - 720
...
String 12: channel 3961 - 4321
..
String 20: channel 6831-7200
The mega tree was beautiful, But when patterns got to string 12, they all shifted the rgb colors. Reds became either blue/green. Not sure what.
Pixel 1 was no longer at the bottom of the strand.
So i am guessing i cannot cross the 4096 boundary. As soon as i did, colors shifted.
kind of a cool effec, but not what i wanted.
How do you all handle crossing a pixelnet boundary?
Do i need to put out zeroes to fill in the pseudo string 12 to go to 4096 and then start the real string 12
on Pixelnet 2, SSC channel #1 (ch 4097)?

channel 4097 is in the 2nd universe, you can't have a hub access channels from more than one universe
you can shift all the addresses by (i think 135?) to have the split fall on a natural segment of your ssc's
you can splice in another ssc to divide the string into a before 4096 section, and an after 4096 section, but you will still need to change the channel numbers where nodes lie, as 4096 isn't evenly divisible by 3.

Ok; i am going to make a new ability in nutcracker.
I will prompt for multiple nc files and create one larger vix file from it. Since i am using Vixen this season, if i get time i will make it also work on lor, and hls, lsp and msq files will need to wait for next year.
So here is what i think as channel assignments for my 3 16 post hubs
(http://meighan.net/nutcracker/images/2012-12-01_0932.png)
I will make a form that i will fill in
dmx.nc
star.nc
dummy1.nc
A~f149.nc (This is my mtree)
dummy2.nc
A~f152.nc (This is my arches)
A~f162.mc (This is my boys window)
A~f163.nc (This is the guest window)
I will name this collection, Wizards in Winter.
It will then stitch all of these files together and produce one vix/vir file.
I will start coding and see if my idea works
thanks
