I have a mini TT1 on camera and want to trigger my Alien Bee with the TT5, but it doesn't want to fire. Connecting using a mono cable to the p2 of the TT5 and the sync on the AB.
Should it work this way?

When you use the P2 port you are not using the Control TL channels, so you need to make sure the TT1 transmit and TT5 receive standard channels match.

I just received AB1600 and I tried to hook it via 1/8 mono cable to the TT5. However, it simply didn't fire. Do you have a specific settings in order for this setup to work? Please share with us. Thank you in advance. Alaa Marzouk

When you press the test button on the transmitter do you see the red light flash on the TT5? Does the flash fire when you press the test button on the strobe TT5?
