Where a combination of x, y and z are unique for these fixtures.
Never set the last number of an IP address to be 255.
This is a special address which will not function
correctly.
14.5.4 Automatically assigning IP addresses (DHCP)
There is another way of assigning IP addresses via an automatic
system called DHCP. For this you need one of the devices on the
network to be a DHCP server. If you know none of your devices are
a DHCP server then this is irrelevant however, if you have a router
on the network or some such similar device then it is likely that you
have a DHCP server. If you do then in the 8 step instructions in
section
14.5.1 on page 219 when you come to step 7 you should
ensure that “Obtain an IP address automatically” is selected then
press ok. When you are using DHCP all the devices on the network
must be capable of obtaining an IP address automatically. If one
device cannot (eg some Art-Net devices) then you must manually
set all the IP addresses.
14.5.5 Private IP address ranges
If your network is connected to the internet it is important to use a
private IP address range. These are special IP addresses that will not
be routed onto the internet. They are:
Start Address Final Address Subnet Mask
10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255 255.0.0.0
172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255 255.255.0.0
192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255 255.255.255.0
For Art-Net, the 10.x.x.x range must be used.
