Controller Pixelstrip MKII
Connecting to a Network
KlingNet settings
01) Install any KlingNet-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac), for example 50180 – Arkaos LED
Master.
02) Connect the PixelStrips P25 MKII to the Controller.
03) Connect the power supply to the Controller.
04) Make sure that your PC has a fixed IP Address. The Controller requires no further network setting
adjustments.
05) Connect the Controller with a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable (see page 10) to your computer.
Once you have connected the devices, they will automatically be recognized by the software.
06) Map the devices, using the “drag-and-drop” method, by placing the fixtures in “on-screen”
interface in the right position. It only requires a few minutes and, once it is done, the system is
completely set up.
07) When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to
distribute the KlingNet data signal.
ArtNet settings
01) Install any ArtNet-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac).
02) Connect the PixelStrips P25 MKII to the Controller.
03) Connect the power supply to the Controller.
04) Connect the device’s Ethernet connector to your software/light controller’s Ethernet connector,
using a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
05) Set the IP address of your software/light controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the ArtNet
settings.
06) Set the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. on both – the Controller and your software/light controller. Make
sure that all the fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
07) If you want to connect more than one fixture, follow the example below.

Note: While patching multiple universes, the output will not be visible until you start patching your final
universe. It is related to the way the Controller was designed.
