by a DHCP server or other user. It takes approximately 10 seconds for the projector to respond at its new address.
PORT: On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may require that the port number of the projector be changed from its default of 3002. If so, enter a new valid port number here.
SUBNET MASK AND DEFAULT GATEWAY: The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is being used, the IP must be assigned first since the projector estimates the subnet mask after the IP is entered. The Default Gateway is an optional router device used to send and receive data outside the subnet.
ArtNet Interface Settings — SUBMENU
ArtNet is an Ethernet communication protocol that was developed by Artistic License. It is used for controlling lighting/staging equipment from a lighting console or PC application. It is based on the popular DMX512 control protocol.
ArtNet SUBNET: This is the highest level address for a device. Typically it is set to 0.
ArtNet UNIVERSE: Each packet of data is broadcasted to all devices plugged into a universe (up to 512 devices/channels).
ArtNet CHANNEL: There are 512 channels per universe. This control allows you to specify the starting channel for this projector.
ArtNet ADVANCED MODE: When this setting is enabled, each projector listens for data on 64 channels starting with the base channel. When advanced mode is not in use, the projector only listens on 10 channels. You can squeeze more devices per universe when the projector uses fewer channels.
NOTE: The additional 54 functions are not currently implemented and are reserved for future use.
ArtNet BASE CHANNEL: When advanced mode is enabled, the projector listens to data on 64 consecutive channels, or 10 consecutive channels when advanced mode is not enabled. The projector processes requests that come on either 10 or 64 consecutive channels beginning with the ‘base channel’ defined here. The requests implement the following functions:
