Network Protocols Configuration
To open the network protocols configuration, press Setup and tap in column DMX/Network at Network Protocols.
To use Art-Net or sACN (=streaming ACN), it is necessary to be in a session. To create a session, tap at Sessions in the Setup. The network setup opens.
If you are not in a session, Art-Net or sACN is not active.
To use Art-Net or sACN with a dot2 onPC, it is necessary to have a Node4 (maximum 1024 DMX channels) or dot2 console connected.
To use Art-Net on Windows® 8 or Windows® 8.1, it is necessary to start the application as administrator. If you don´t start the application as administrator, Art-Net is not active.
In this window, you can enable or disable Art-Net or sACN.
Art-Net and sACN are additional network protocols to the default network protocol dot2-Net.
The network protocols transports DMX with wired network connection (Ethernet).
The sACN priority in the dot2 is set to 100.
The green tick displays, that this network protocol is enabled.
The red prohibition sign displays, that this network protocol is disabled.
To enable or disable a network protocol, tap at the network protocol type.
Below the network protocol is the IP address displayed from which the network protocol is sent.
The Art-Net IP address is visible after Art-Net is enabled and a session is active.
To change the IP address, use the SetIP command.
The following columns are available:
Active:
Displays if Art-Net or sACN is on or off for the respective universe.
To turn Art-Net or sACN on or off for the respective universe, tap and hold the cell or press the Scroll Active encoder.
Mode:
Displays the supported mode of the network protocol.
Art-Net = Output Broadcast (Art-Net 1)
sACN = Output Multicast
dot2 Universe:
Displays the dot2 universes from 1 to 8.
Art-Net universe / sACN universe:
Displays the Ethernet universe.
Art-Net = 0:0 - 0:7
sACN = 1 - 8
