What to watch for
NovaStar receiving cards, sending cards and firmware versions have to match. A wall assembled from two hire stocks with different receiving card generations may simply not map.
Screen configuration files travel with the wall, not the processor. Losing the file means rebuilding the map panel by panel on site.
