Hello barbotte,

The Lynx Express uses DMX for signaling.  What Falcon compatible gear do you have that outputs DMX?  Falcon F16v2 (if that's what you have) has 4 Dedicated DMX Outputs RJ45 connectors.  You must configure the v2 in XLIGHTS enabling the appropriate DMX universes/channels. 

You can still connect your DMX wireless transmitter to a correctly (matching) wired DMX (RJ45) output on the V2 and it will transmit to the LE, here is one page that may help: [http://www.diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=Mod_Wireless].

Is this helping any?

I run a Ethernet cable from my falcon 3 to the the lynx controllers. I got 15 lynx, never had a problem. Everything on the lynx are led's only' pixels I use the falcom
