Setting the DMX Universes
On the web page go the DMX A or B Universe field and enter a universe number. Then
click Submit. For Art-Net you may also select the DMX subnet and network switch. In
Art-Net there are a possible 256 universes that are selected through 16 subnets which
each contain 16 universes. So a unique combination of the subnet and universe
numbers define what universe a port will transmit. More than one Net-IT can be
configured to use the same unique universe. In E1.31 the universe number is directly
selected as a single value from 1 to 65279. In Art-Net the Network Switch will cause the
unit to use an IP address of 10.x.x.x when it is ON or 2.x.x.x when it is OFF. This is true
only while the unit is still using the factory default IP address. If a full manual IP address
is entered then the Network switch has no effect until a factory reset is performed.
Reset Factory Defaults
To reset the Net-IT to factory defaults (including IP address), use a paperclip to hold
down the rest button for ten seconds. The display will show that it is resetting.
Infotrace Name
This name shows up on the display and also on the Infogate software window on the
top right corner. This name can be changed only from Infogate.
Art-Net Name
This name is only shown when the Net-IT is configured for Art-Net. The name can be
changed only from an Art-Net controller.
Port Directions
Currently the Net-IT only supports output of DMX and not input. The display will show
both ports in an output state.
