Quasar Science - Help Center

IP Settings menu navigation Art-Net

Art-Net requires network settings to be correct for proper function

IP addresses of control devices and Quasar Science fixtures must be in the correct ranges for network communication to work correctly.

Notice

As of Firmware 0.9 the Ethernet Settings menu is no longer nested under Wired Settings. It is now in the top level [Config Menu] structure. All other Ethernet Settings are the same as before and are listed below.

FW 0.8 and earlier, Ethernet Settings are found in [Config Menu] → [Wired Settings] → [Ethernet Settings]

  • View IP Address - Displays the current IP address assigned to the fixture

  • IP Address Mode

    • Auto - The fixture requests an IP Address from a DHCP server on network. Requires a DHCP server to function correctly.

    • Static - Opens additional sub menus that allow for the following:

      • User assigned IP address Default is 192.168.4.2

      • Subnet mask Default is 255.255.255.0

      • Gateway Default is 192.168.4.1

  • Save DHCP as Static - Stores current IP address to onboard memory

  • Universe IN - DMX Universe fixture is patched to

  • Universe OUT - DMX Universe that will pass to the output in Advanced Routing modes

  • Node Mode - Disabled/Enabled - In older firmware Node Mode allows ArtNet input on LAN1 and DMX Output on LAN2. (FW 0.9 Node Mode has been moved to Ethernet>DMX Advanced Routing)

    • When enabled the LAN 2 Port of the fixture will output DMX

    • When disabled the LAN 2 port of RR fixtures will function as a network switch

    • When disabled the LAN 2 Port of R2 fixtures is disabled R2 ports are dmx-only

  • DMX Out Universe - (only FW 0.8b and earlier) DMX Universe output on LAN2 port when Node Mode is enabled.

    Note

    Please see our release notes on Advanced Routing with the Firmware 0.9 update since this changes since the old Node Mode which has been updated and renamed.
