American Auto Matrix Broadcast Help

[oceanorear]

Hey every one, have not been on for a bit been real busy but its nice to see every one still around. Im working with the gc'1s again. The problem I am having is that the out side air temp is comming up as -30 after its been broadcasted. Befor being broadcasted it shows the correct temp. I have been back and forth up and down with this and can not figure out what is going on. I will post screen views of the contorller sending and one of a controller that is receiving.

Are these controllers on the same PUP trunk or different trunks on the SAGE? If they are on the same trunk, try a zone broadcast.

Also make sure that FE02;OI is set to 1. If not, it will try to read from FE02

Well the overide is set right and its on the same trunk. I tried to use the zone also but no luck. Also we no longer have the sage hooked up. Its been off for months with no problems.

Any other thoughts?

Looking at your SoloPro screens you have everything setup right. I have a couple of GC's at the office. When I get in tomorrow I will set up a peer to peer broadcast and post the results.

With no Sage online, do you have one of the PUP controllers set as a full administrator for token-passing purposes, with the broadcasting controller set as a peer to receive the token? It's been a while since I had to set up a broadcast, but I think the token is required. You'll have to ensure that someone on the network can recover the token and pass it around where needed.

[oceanorear]

yes there is a controller set up with full admin and token recovery, that is also the same controller that is sending the broadcast out. Its been set up like this for about 5 mons with no problems. I even tried replaceing the gc1 controller.

Thanks

I set everything up a few minutes ago and the only way I got anything to work was to add the serial number of the controller recieving the broadcast into the broadcasting controller under System/ First Peer unit number. Then it worked fine. This attribute defaults to 65535 and will need to be changed. Shoot me an e-mail if this doesn't work. Maybe I can give you a call. I will have some free time today. Good luck.

Thanks for the help yesterday. I am formating the computer with Auto Pilot and am going to start over. I tried everything I could think of to stop that run time error and no luck. So I transfered the license over to another computer and will transfer it back when I am done setting it back up. I backed every thing up in terms of the graphics and pages so I will re use them and will just have to rebuild the object server. I really wish they would have purchased the Jace with the pup drivers.

On another note I am going to try setting the broadcast time to zero on the broadcasting controller. That is suppose to make in continues broadcast why it has the token. If I come up with the answer I will keep you posted so you know for future reference.

Thanks
Mark

:eek:WOW I lost the Auto Pilot / Object Server License during the transfer, I will have to submit a EULA to have the key re issued and hope they will re issue it. It said it said the transfer to the destination file was complete. Then when I put it in the machine its telling me the license has not been transfered out to the destination file.

I officaily hate American Auto Matrix.

Maybe you'll have better success with their new "we've re-invented the wheel yet again" product line...

Your SoloPro seems to be set to SoleMaster. I'm willing to bet that this is causing tokens to collide on the network and make broadcasts not work. As a test, set broadcasting up to a continuous state and close SoloPro for a minute or two so its totally off the network. Check your peer controllers and I'll bet you that the broadcasts work.

One of the tech support guys I dealt with for a long time suggested this once and it always appeared to be my problem when I had an issue with Broadcasts.

As for your Auto-Pilot licensing woes, I wouldn't be too worried about it. Just call Inside Sales and explain the situation. If I were you, I'd do a VM-Ware backup of the PC after you get the license. It's not Auto-Pilot...its CrypKey and I've had more problems with it on third-party interfaces than just AAM's stuff. Besides, I would not be worried about their new product line as it won't be using CrypKey anyway.

ok thanks and I am going to try taking solopro off for a few mins.

Thanks
