We had a "fun" time installing our dials and buttons on a Crimson.

A few things I learned that may be applicable would include:

- we needed to install a powered peripheral board, which
the daisy-chained dials and buttons were then plugged
into.

- there is a serial port manager app under the system
management app that allows one to easily set a port as
dials and buttons.

- there is a confidence test that can help test the
devices. 

Good luck!
