IP Settings menu navigation sACN

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]

FW 0.9 and later, Ethernet Settings are found in [Config Menu] → [Ethernet Settings]

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

  • IP Address Mode

    • Auto (DHCP) - The fixture will request an IP Address from a DHCP server on network. Requires a DHCP server to function correctly. If no server is available the fixture will self-assign a Failover IP from the 169.245.x.x range.

    • Static - Opens additional submenus 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

  • Multicast - Enabled/Disabled

  • Universe IN - DMX Universe fixture is patched to

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

  • Node Mode In older firmware Node Mode allowed sACN Input on LAN1 and DMX Output on LAN2. (FW 0.9 this has been moved to Ethernet-to-DMX 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 ports.

  • DMX Out Universe - DMX Universe output on LAN2 port when Node Mode is enabled (as of firmware 0.8b this option is only available when using Art-Net. SACN Node Mode passes only the assigned input Universe to the dmx output of the fixture.)

  • Notice

    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.
