FIRST Choice Victors not Responding to RoboRio

Has anyone been successful running their FIRST Choice Victor 888's on the roboRio?
Running java, the Victors will not respond to PWM input (orange blinking light when roboRio is enabled) I thought the Victor was defective, but we tried all 4 obtained from FIRST Choice and none work. Using the same code with Talons (using both Victor and Talon classes) work nominally.
I verified the students connected all wires up correctly, so definitely not a wiring issue. PDP connected to V+/V- side and PWM in correct position and inserted tightly.
