STATUS LED TABLE LED Indication Data (upper) Protocol activity. Red = RX, Green = TX, Orange = Boot loader mode Network (lower) Network activity. Green = Link, Flash = Traffic A (upper) DMX512 Port A. Green = TX, Red = RX B (lower) DMX512 Port B. Green = TX, Red = RX 3. INSTALLING THE FTDI DRIVER To use the USB DMX interface install the FTDI driver. Note this isn’t required for Art-Net or sACN operations. eDMX2 PRO maximizes compatibility with existing software an FTDI ( www.ftdichip.
4. DEFAULT CONFIGURATION All eDMX2 PRO units ship with default IP address settings. Please reconfigure for your requirements before use. Parameter Default Setting IP Address 192.168.0.112 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway 192.168.0.254 DMX512 and Art-Net configuration parameters are also configured with default values.
NETWORK TAB Before starting the eDMX Configuration utility please ensure your computer has appropriate IPv4 network settings, for example IP 192.168.0.100 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.254. Upon startup eDMX devices on the same subnet are automatically detected and displayed by IP address. You can re-poll for new devices or just check the communications is okay by clicking “Search For Devices”. Click on the desired device’s IP address in the list and all Settings will be retrieved.
PORT TAB Make changes to the applicable Port settings then click “Update”. Parameter Usage MAC Address Factory programmed Ethernet MAC address IP Address IPv4 network address Subnet Mask Subnet mask, typically 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0 for class A,B & C respectively Default Gateway Address of network gateway (router) for communications beyond local subnet Network Mode Custom IP, Art-Net 2.x.y.z , Art-Net 10.x.y.
DMX DISPLAY FUNCTION Select View | DMX Display for a simple DMX512 test utility. To generate an Art-Net output stream click Transmit then select one of the 6 Transmit Options and change Art-Net Universe as applicable. When in Manual mode you can click on any of the channels (represented by small boxes with hexadecimal channel level inside) to set ON level and double click to set zero. The mouse scroll wheel adjusts a channel by a defined increment.
ART-NET NODE NAME The Art-Net protocol supports device naming which can make larger installations more manageable. Both Short Name (17 characters) and Long Name (63 characters) for an eDMX Device can be modified using the Advanced | Edit Node Name dialog. FACTORY RESET This is a last resort option if for whatever reason incorrect or forgotten device network settings have rendered your device unusable.
Source Notes Art-Net I, II or 3 sACN / E1.31 Only sACN sources of the same Priority will be HTP or LTP merged. DMX In Configure DMX In port universe to the same as DMX Out port universe USB DMX Source is Universe 1 Priority 100. Note if using 2 universe USB DMX mode 2nd is Universe 2. SUPPORTED MERGING COMBINATIONS Source 1 Source 2 Notes Art-Net Art-Net Sources are timed out 3 seconds after last received frame. sACN / E1.31 sACN / E1.
4. If Broadcast Threshold > 0 and zero Art-Net II/3 devices are "subscribed" to that universe the frame is broadcast on the subnet. So as you can see there are multiple ways broadcast could occur. The implementation is done like this to ensure compatibility with mixed Art-Net I/II/3 device networks but still permit unicast only when Art-Net II/III devices are used exclusively. For DMX In sACN at present only multicast frames will be generated owing to a lack of sACN device discovery standard. 7.
