stopped. To clear the fault, release the Emergency Stop button on the Showstopper. Once the fault is cleared,
any motion that you wish to execute will have to be restarted. If you were jogging, you will need to release the
jog button and start again. If you were running a cue through Spikemark, that cue will need to be re‐loaded and
run again. At no time will the Stagehand immediately restart after an Emergency Stop fault is cleared, since
such behavior to could pose a serious safety risk.

When you are ready to write and run complex cues with Spikemark, you may need to assign a new IP address to
each controller in the Stagehand Mini
2
. Every device on the automation network must have a unique, but
similar, static IP address. Remember that the Mini
2
is really just two completely independent motion controllers
packaged into one case, so each controller must have a unique address. The easiest address scheme to adopt is
to share the first three segments of the IP address and just alter the last segment. We typically use addresses
that start:
192.168.10.xxx
The last number can be any value from 0 – 255, but no devices on the network can share the same value.
To set the IP address of the Stagehand:
Press the Knob. The Knob serves double‐duty as a typical rotary knob and a button (much like a car
stereo knob).
The SET IP address screen will be displayed just like the picture below:
There is a blinking cursor on the display, turning the knob will scroll the cursor through the various
fields. By turning the Knob, scroll over to the last segment of the IP address which is 32 by default.
Press the Knob to select the last segment and make it adjustable.
Turn the Knob to set a new value.
Once you are happy with the new value, press the Knob to accept the value.
By turning the Knob, scroll over to the
OK
and then press the Knob to set the new address and return to
the primary display screen. If you want to cancel the changes you made to the IP address, place the
cursor over
CANCEL
and press the
Knob
.
