10 PRG NODE PLUS USER MANUAL
Art-Net (Series 400)
In the Art-Net (Series 400) configuration, an Art-Net compatible control console may be connected to one or more
PRG Node Plus units.
Guidelines:
+ When connecting an Art-Net compatible console and multiple PRG Node Plus units, a 100Mb Ethernet switch or
hub
must be used. Standard CAT5e Ethernet cables should be used in this configuration. Refer to the illustration
below.
+ The Series 400 Mode of operation should be used in this configuration. Refer to "Art-Net (Series 400) Mode" on
page 18.
+ When using a Node in this way, there are some important considerations that should be observed during setup
and operation. Refer to "Configuration" on page 11.
+ When using a Node as an Art-Net-to-DMX device, note that the Art-Net output does not pass data; it only mirrors
the DMX outputs. It is not possible to place the Art-Net output on the same network as the Art-Net input.

Power Up Procedure
To power up the Node Plus unit and set its address:
Step 1. Once the AC input cable is connected and power is applied, the unit will receive power. (It does not have a
power on/off switch.)
Step 2. Using Menu Display controls, set Node Plus thumbwheel starting address (refer to "Operation" on page 14).
Ensure that addresses are unique among all Nodes in system.
