I did have some issues initially setting up the DMX addresses in LSP with the AC16's upgraded to DMX.
Here's the details:

LoginI had to also flip the signal lines 4&5 to 1&2, but just flipping 4&5 to 1&2 didn't work for me. I also had to flip 1&2 to 4&5 as well to make it work.
Here's how I set up the addresses of the DMX AC16's:
On the first hub, I have 15 LED Flexstrips, and a single universe of DMX broken out. My two AC16's have been upgraded to DMX with the new chips so they can "receive" DMX natively from the first Hub.
So the connection is:
PC->Cat 5 -> Ethernet Hub->cat5-> Etherdongle -> cat 5 ->PixelNet in -> Smart String Controller -> Led Flexstrip
Also connected on the 1st Hub is -> Cat5 (from DMX output on the Hub) to Input on the 1st AC16 - > cat5 to 2nd AC16
Now remember that that the output from the Hub to the AC16 will need the cable to swop over a couple of the connections e.g.
I had to make the cross over cable as well, that was pretty straight forward, I had to swop pin 1 to pin 4, pin 2 to pin 5.
Pin 4 to pin 1 and pin 5 to pin 1 (you only need to make one cable on the input side of the 1st AC16, then just daisy chain the rest)
First DMX AC16 is programmed address starting at 3898 in LSP and end address 3913 (e.g. 16 channels)
Second DMX AC16 is programmed address starting at 3914 in LSP and end address 3929
Physical addresses of my AC16s (what ID and channel assignments programmed into the AC16s) are:
The first AC16 Controller I set to DMX address 314, and the second AC16 Controller I set to address DMX 330
(remember to set the DMX jumpers on the Hub)
All works well for me using DMX now
