    Default Mach3 DRO changes; motors don't move

    Hello,
    I am running a CNCRouterParts 4'x4' machine with a Leadshine MX4660 stepper driver, Ethernet SmoothStepper, and Mach3. When Mach3 is connected to the machine, the loading bar appears on Mach3 and the "pump" LED illuminates on the stepper driver. Additionally, all motors are energized and cannot be moved by hand. However, when the machine is jogged in Mach3, the DRO numbers change, but the motors do not move. Requests to start the spindle similarly do nothing. I also noticed that both the green and red LED's on two of the axes on the stepper driver fail to illuminate.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Either wiring issues, or incorrect port and pin numbers.
