The first thing to do is:
0. Take a backup of the OCP4NGX_v5.5x.ssi file before you continue.
1. Edit the PMDG B737.ini in SIOC folder so the MASTER line you now have in it reads:
MASTER=20,19,1,72
Note: the last number should be the number you see for the device in SIOC's device widow
This file should normally not be modified. But, if you change the USB to another USB port in your PC, you must edit the file again. The MASTER line should then be edited so the last number reflects the number you see in the SIOC Device window. Your image shows now the number as 72.

2. Open SIOC.exe from SIOC folder and click Edit Script in the SIOC window
3. Go to Files menu and Export OCP4NGX_v5.5x.ssi to TXT
4. Save as OCP4NGX_v5.5xm.txt
5. Open Notepad or another text editor and load the OCP4NGX_v5.5xm.txt
6. Scroll down in the text file until you find all the script code lines for the FirePanel. Or search for some parts of the line below
a. Var 1394, name aENG1_OVHT, static, Link IOCARD_OUT, Device 32, Output 23
7. Now change the lines for all inputs and outputs for the FirePanel in the script
a. All Device 32 lines for the FirePanel should be changed to Device 20
b. All inputs and outputs should be changed to the numbers you find in the FirePanel Documentation. Only change the Device and output/input numbers so they match what is in the documentation.
c. Note that the naming is a little different between the script and the list below
8. Save the file so its name is OCP4NGX_v5.5xm.txt
9. Open SIOC.exe and click Edit Script, then to Files and Import TXT
10. After the txt file is compiled, you save it as OCP4NGX_v5.5xm.ssi

If you have added the line
MASTER=20,19,1,72
to the PMDG B737.ini file as described in an earlier post, there is no need to link the FIREPANEL to an Operations.

Once you have a good and working PMDG B737.ini file and do not change the USB connections to the modules you have, OC4BAv5 should work OK.

The reason the FIREPANEL in the Modules window does not show any USB number is that the USB FirePanel module is not coded in the config function of OC4BAv5. But as said above, you can do this manually and create a MASTER line.

I suggest that you zip the complete SIOC folder and copy the zipped file to your ONEDRIVE.
Then send the shared ONEDRIVE link to roarkrsp@gmail.com
