ERROR
▪ LED 2: This LED is a Link or Activity indicator which blinks to indicate the following:
Frequency
Status
On

5 Hz
ACTIVITY
Off
NO NETWORK
▪ LED 1 & 2 both blink at 1Hz: When both LED blink at the same time, it indicates the ODE MK3 equires a
firmware update or a reboot.
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
The ODE MK3 supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet. This allows the device to be powered via the RJ45
EtherCon Connection, reducing the number of cables and the ability to remotely deploy the ODE MK3 without
the need for a local power source close to the device.
PoE can be introduced to the Ethernet cable, either through a network switch which outputs PoE under the
IEEE 802.3af standard, or through an IEEE 802.3af PoE injector.
Note: DC power input has higher priority over PoE. In the event of DC power input disconnection, please
expect approximately 1 minute down time before ODE MK3 reboots for PoE to take over.
Note: Passive PoE is not compatible with the ODE MK3.
Out of the Box
The ODE MK3 will be set to a DHCP IP address as default. If the DHCP server is slow to respond, or your
network does not have a DHCP server, the ODE MK3 will fall back to 192.168.0.10 as default. The ODE MK3 will
also be set as DMX OUTPUT as default, listening to the first two Art-Net Universes - 0 (0x00) and 1 (0x01) -
converting them to DMX512-A on the two DMX ports.
Networking
The ODE MK3 can either be configured to be a DHCP or Static IP address.
DHCP: On power up and with DHCP enabled, if the ODE MK3 is on a network with a device/router with a
DHCP server, the ODE MK3 will request an IP address from the server. If the DHCP server is slow to respond,
or your network does not have a DHCP server, the ODE MK3 will fall back to the default IP address 192.168.0.10
and netmask 255.255.255.0. If a DHCP address is provided, this can be used to communicate with the ODE
MK3.
Static IP: By default (out of the box) the Static IP address will be 192.168.0.10. If the ODE MK3 has DHCP
disabled, the Static IP address given to the device will become the IP address to communicate with the DIN
ETHERGATE. The Static IP address will change from the default once it’s modified in the web interface. Please
note down the Static IP address after setting.
Note: When configuring multiple ODE MK3’s on a Static network; to avoid IP conflicts, ENTTEC recommends
connecting one device at a time to the network and configuring an IP.
 If using DHCP as your IP addressing method, ENTTEC recommends the use of the sACN protocol, or Art-
Net Broadcast. This will ensure that your ODE MK3 continues to receive data if the DHCP server changes
it’s IP address.
 ENTTEC does not recommend unicasting data to a device with its IP address set through DHCP server on
