The NETMASK is the subnet mask, which is fixed and should not be changed, this NETMASK
allows for 252 units on this subnet.
The format of the Internet address is:- AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
where AAA,BBB,CCC and DDD are decimal number between 0 and 255. with the subnet mask
shown and the default Internet address, suitable Internet addresses can be formed as follows:-
192.168.000.XXX where XXX cannot be 0, or 255.
In a system that contains 5 SN10X’s (for example) a suitable Internet configuration would be :-
Node
Internet address
SN100 (a) 192.168.000.70
SN100 (b) 192.168.00.71
SN100 (c) 192.168.00.72
SN100 (d) 192.168.000.73
SN100 (e) 192.168.00.74
DMX data input and output is controlled by the use of the DMX keyword. The DMX keyword has
the following syntax,
DMX = Port Type Start End Slot
where,
Port is either 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Type specifies whether the Port is IN, OUT or OFF.
IN specifies that DMX data coming in on the specified Port should be placed on the
network at the specified global network slot, the first and last dimmers sent out from the
incoming DMX frame are specified by the START and END numbers. The START and
END numbers must be between 1 and 512.
OUT specifies that DMX data coming in on the network at the specified global network
channel offset, will be sent out of the DMX Port specified. The first and last dimmers sent
out for the outgoing DMX frame are specified by the START and END numbers.
OFF Specifies that this port is not being used for DMX
