Trouble with control power in an auditorium, all etc setup, I'm trying to control the house with my ONYX board.
Post Body

Hey all, I'm having an issue in an auditorium where I'll be working for the whole week. The issue is I have patched all the house fixtures into my show. It's and older setup, all conventional dimmers and some RGBA psyche lights, they have an etc element and etc touch screens throughout the auditorium. I took the ethernet out of the console and plugged it into my ONYX console, set my ip address to match their console, then stared sending SACN data.

the problem: I only have control over the Wash Dimmers in the catwalks, control room lights, isle lights and The overheads on the electrics, but not house dimmers or the psyches. The psyches aren't even powered on, they are plugged into a channel labeled on the electric, but if I give that channel 255 value it doesn't power on. I played with their touchscreen tablet in the control room, there are no buttons to turn off or on control power anywhere. there are a bunch of presets, but they aren't labeled (just "preset 1","preset 2",ect).

I'm assuming I need to send some channel to some value, also assuming that value 255 (or 100%) any ideas guys? Or, if I can be correct in my assumptions could yall offer a bit of advice on identifying the channels and values that would need to be sent?

edit: I'd like to add that all of the fixtures in the auditorium work no problem with the house board(of course) when powered on and connected without any manual issuing of control power signals.
