7. The ODE Configuration Window will appear.  It contains the controls 

needed to make all possible changes to the ODE's configurations.

8. At your option, you may choose to enter a new name for the ODE in the 

Device Name blank. Calling it “Truss 1” or “Onstage Dimmers 
Universe” may be convenient to your application, for instance.

9. If you need to adjust the IP Address for your application, it may be done 

here. While many users can expect the ODE to work fine with factory 
default IP, some networks will be a bit trickier. If it works for you as is, 
don't bother changing anything here, but if you're trying to troubleshoot, 
a valuable tip would be to choose an IP which is similar in the first 3 
numbers (but distinct in the last) from other elements of your lighting 
system.   For further information about this consult a Network Manager 
or IT expert who knows your local Ethernet setup well.
