    The Ethernet Switch has to have its power turned on, then it takes a few minutes for the units to recognize the connection.

    After all are recognized, all three units should be listed in the Network Source menu of each unit, from there you select which unit you want data from for each category for the unit you are looking at.

    Wayne, Does he need to be in custom mode on each? Can’t remember the #series menu.

    Yes, I was just going to add that.
    Advanced User Mode for the old units and Custom User Mode for the Helix.
