Now that the Tube knows that it is an encoder it is important to set the
target address so that the Tube knows where to send the data.
The Tube can either send the data to a single other Tube or it can send its
data to multiple Tubes through the usage of the local network broadcast
address.
To send the data to one other Tube you would type set
DMXTarget=IPAddress of receiver, so if we have two Tubes whose IP
addresses are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, if we make 192.168.1.1 the
encoder we can set the target to be 192.168.1.2 and thus the encoder
192.168.1.1 will only send its data to 192.168.1.2.
If however we wish to send the data from one Tube to many others we
would set the target address as w.x.y.255, so in the previous example we
would set the target address to 192.168.1.255, this ensures that any Tube
on the 192.168.1.X range between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.250 will
receive the same data.
So our command through the hyperterminal interface would look like:
Again at this stage it is imperative to save the config to non volatile
memory using the “save conf” command
All other parameters are to be changed by experienced users only, as such
this document will not detail every possible parameter change, however
