Good morning,

I have recently setup a 2nd SC instance and connected that instance to IB.

My first instance (the original) is connected to LMAX.

Now the 2nd instance is connected to IB and is up and running, it seems that my first instance that is connected to LMAX does not work anymore. The data connection cannot be made anymore. It says: "reconnect Wait", see attached screenshot. I have done a delete and download all data, and checked that the data/trade services setting are set to <LMAX Live trading.

What do I have to do in order to have both instances (IB as well as LMAX) working?

Kind regards, Thomas
