Midi messages from the Dx7||-d

Well, now I am in trouble... I got a Dx7||-d hooked up to a Kurzweil 1000 PX+. But, I can't get the dx7 to send program change messages. I've tried, and tried, but it simply won't work. Anyone who can help me? I know the PX is able to recieve program change, and I know the dx7 is able to transfer.

Oh, another question! If I use for example my dx to control a 1080, how would it work? Is it like when i press sound 20 on the dx the 1080 also changes to sound 20? Or does the 1080 have some sort of programming mode? So I could tell 1080 that when it recives this or that data it changes to this or ...
