One but not both

I am currently using two DP 415 dimmer packs and only one will register that it is DMX ready. I have tried seeing if separate power sources would help, different channels, but still, only one side. Im at a loss on what to do. These pack are linked between LED 64s and all my LEDS work, but not this second pack, which is brand new and i tested it before installing. It worked, but as soon as I linked it up, no DMX light blinking. If there is something I need to do please let me Know. ASAP!!! I have a commercial we are shooting This saturday and i can not only have one side of stage lit.

Two things to try would be
1) go straight into that pack and see if it responds then.
2) duplicate the dmx address from the good pack to the other one.

I did both of your suggestions. I tested it before I put it up in our truss. It worked fine. Im wondering if maybe I have a bad cable that is just pushing enough signal to the LEDs and not the dimmer. Thats a lot of cables i will have to check if it if. But thank you for the suggestions. If there are any other ideas, please feel free to tell before i start going cabel by cable.

How long is your cable run? If it is over 100 feet you might need a splitter/booster like our opto branch 4. Reason for this is, the cue cable is getting power from a USB port. It just isn't the same as a console plugged into a 120 volt wall outlet. Your dmx signal could be getting weak.
This is amplified if you use mic cable instead of dmx also.
