If this post is not allowed please let me know & you can delete it
Been trying to setup a 12 strip E1.31 Alpha Pix controller from HC in LOR with no luck
So far I have been able to get the controller in the network & ping it, set up a test using xLights to make sure computer & controller are talking to each other here are a couple pictures of set up
I then went into the setup of the controller & setup universes in it.
Had to start with univ. 2 as I have my other controllers on univ.1. It is a mix of LOR, Lynx Express & dumb RGB using a Lynx dongle wireless.
Will add more posts with more information if the moderator is OK with it.

Greetings,,,
Obviously anything not from this site might be better explored on other sites, but it looks like you have a combo situation. With fries.
This site has always been here to get lights moving for the enjoyment of all. No one site has everything, especially as things are always changing.
Someone here may be able to offer help.

Not being real familiar with AlphaPix, in your picture you have UNIV 22 set up on 2 ports 7 & 8 and Universe 1 setup on Universes 15 & 16. Since you said you are using a Lynx DMX dongle for Universe 1 I would remove that from your Alphapix setup. HAve you looked at this video from Holiday Coro? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2VzQNGAaO0

Did you start the LOR 'Control Panel' ?
It is always over looked when using DMX/E1.31

Universe 22 setup on 7&8 because they are not used & can not use 0 so 7&8 are blanks.

Lynx dongle has to stay as it is a wireless network
I can not see where Alpha pix controller is in univ. 1

In your picture outputs 15 & 16 are set to universe one. Can you do a screen capture of your output setup for LOR?

Afternoon update
I HAVE LIGHTS WOOOOOOOOOOW
I think the biggest problem I was having was with cop & paste, but first this is what I did today.
I went into network preferences & Clicked on each universe & deleted the port 5568 & reinstalled it as 5568. Did this to make sure everything was correct we all know about auto fill
Then went in & added 2 more universes so I had 16 which matched the controller even though I am only using 12
Last I went to the sequences & re did them all. When I first did the sequences I copy & pasted all 12 channels at one time. This did not work so on the new sequences I copy & pasted each universe one at a time now working.
You tell me what made a difference I do not know but happy all is working.
Thanks all for your help
