Wired Settings Control Menu
Allows for wired control of Quasar Fixtures.
There are three main menus within the Wired Mode menu: DMX512, Art-net and sACN. DMX512 requires additional settings in the DMX settings menu. Art-net and sACN require additional settings in the Ethernet Settings menu.
Wired Mode - Choose DMX512 or Ethernet Mode to Wire Control the light.
DMX - Control the light with DMX512.
Ethernet - Control the light with sACN or Art-Net.
DMX Settings
DMX Channel - Set the DMX Channel 001 to 512.
Terminate - Terminate the DMX Signal when last in line.
Ethernet Settings
View IP Address - Show the IP address automatically received through DHCP or the Static IP address set.
IP Address Mode - Set the IP Address Mode.
DHCP (Auto) - Allow the light to obtain the IP address from the router automatically.
Static - Allows the manual setting of the IP address on the fixture.
Save DHCP as Static - Save the info received from the DHCP Router and save as a Static IP, and changes Mode to Static IP.
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway - Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway.
Universe - Set the Universe for the light.
DMX Channel - Set the DMX Channel 001 to 512.
Ethernet Mode - Choose the Ethernet protocol: sACN Only or Art-Net Only.
DMX512-A
Send a DMX signal into the LAN 1 port of the Quasar Fixture. On all Quasar Fixtures LAN 2 outputs the DMX signal. The Quasar Fixture will need a starting DMX address that corresponds with the Patch on the control console.
Note
The LAN ports on RR fixtures are an actual network switch. This allows daisy-chaining of RR fixtures using sACN or Art-Net. But R2 fixtures only pass DMX to the Output port since it is not a switch.
To set the start address of the Quasar Fixture in Wired DMX Control:
Go to Config →DMX512 → DMX Channel
To enable the internal resistor that terminates the DMX line to prevent reflection issues:
Go to Config → DMX512 → Terminated
Art-Net
Art-Net signal into the LAN 1 Port of the Quasar Fixture. Quasar RR fixtures output the Art-Net signal on the LAN 2 port. Quasar R2 fixtures DO NOT output Art-net on the LAN 2 port. Fixtures receiving Art-net require the following settings to function.
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Router
Universe
Starting DMX Address
If there is a DHCP server on the Lighting Network the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router can set automatically in the IP Addr Mode by Enabling Auto.
To configure the lamp to receive Art-net if using DHCP:
Go to Config → Wired Settings → Art-net
Config → Ethernet Settings → IP Addr Mode -> Auto
Config → Ethernet Settings → Universe
Config → Ethernet Settings → DMX Channel
To configure the lamp to receive Art-net if using Static IP addresses:
Go to Config → Wired Settings → Art-net
Config → Ethernet Settings → IP Addr Mode -> Static
Config → Ethernet Settings → Set IP Addr
Config → Ethernet Settings → Set Subnet Mask
Config → Ethernet Settings → Set Gateway
Config → Ethernet Settings → Universe
Config → Ethernet Settings → DMX Channel
