2. Select ‘All’ if you want to set the interfaces all the same. Now select one of the four
options and conrm with [Setup].
If you want to congure the interfaces dierently, select individual interfaces ‘Port1’ …
‘Port8’ to set them to one of the four values.
3. Press [Back] to go to the higher menu level.
The current version of the ArtNet protocol supports 15-bit addresses and allows multiple con‐
verters to be connected. There is only one Net Switch and Sub Switch of a device and the phys‐
ical 8-channel interface of the device can be used as output or input accordingly. The lower 4
bits of the 15-bit address can be set accordingly. The default output address as well as the
input address of 8 interfaces is ‘0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7’ . This way, both devices – one as an 8-port
input and the other as an 8-port output – can be used as an 8-channel DMX signal repeater via
the network cable after setting the local IP address and destination IP address over the net‐
work connection.
If two devices are used simultaneously as an output or input, the interface address of the
second device can be set to ‘8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15’ and the Net Switch and Sub Switch of
both devices can be identical. To separate the physical interfaces when using more than three
devices, dierent Net Switches and Sub Switches must be set to have a unique 15-bit address
for each interface.
