Exclamation CAN Jaguar Malfunction

We wired all of our Jaguars and assigned them specific IDs, but the crio seems to be messing up the jaguar system. When we hook up the jaguars directly to the serial cable connected to the computer, they work fine, their firmware versions are correct, and we can control them with speed mode great (The encoders are working good).
This is our setup:
ID TYPE
1 Black
2 Gray
3 Gray
4 Gray
5 Gray
6 Gray
7 Gray
All firmwares are at 87
Each are hooked up to the next id with the terminator connected to 7.
After the crio boots it reports that the firmware is 0 for all of them. Disconnecting the serial cable from the crio and hooking it up to the computer we see that the id's of the greys change (We did not turn the jaguars off, all pid values are still changed).
So ID 1 is at v87, 2 is 258, 3 is 259, and so on, up to 263. Is this normal?
The jaguars with the different firmwares don't respond to the rpm controller in the bc comm program.
Any help would be great
