Are you sure the other location has a swm setup? Sounds like either you aren't making the connections correctly or the outlet you are plugging the power inserter into isn't live. Can you describe the equipment in both systems?

both systems are slimline smw . i installed both ,they are identical .the pi is green and the cable from the pi to the ird has good signal on my birddog. power to swm from the pi thru power pass on a single switch with the other out port terminated. why would i have good signal all the way to the ird but no swm detected? i tried rebooting but it doesn`t help , i`m getting no signal on the sat meter on the screen.

Maybe a bad connector somewhere?

don`t think so because i have good signal at all points leading to the ird. if disconnect the cable from the ird and plug it into the birdog i get the same reading i get from the cable coming directly from the lnb. there has to be some way to clear the ird and reset it
