I triple checked the cat 5 pigtails connected to the SSCs, it is Type B. My apologies, I had previously stated Type A incorrectly. I'm now back to square one.
Some additionally information, when I plug the SS controller into the HUB the nodes flash, for just a split second.
Additionally, I built a Zeus 16 Version 1 last year. I have never used it before, but as a part of the trouble shooting process I connect the pixelnet dongle, connected a string of lights, flashed all the Chips, verified check sum 0020, connected the 24 pin power (no 4 pin connectors) and used the Zeus utility to program ALL lights, the utility said it was transmitting but the lights were not flashing.
