Settings
The OCTO MK2 settings can be configured within the Settings tab. Changes will only take affect after being
saved; any unsaved changes will be discarded.
Node Name:
Change Node Name for
identification.
DHCP
: Enabled by default. When enabled,
the DHCP server on the network is
expected to automatically provide the IP
address to the OCTO MK2. When DHCP
enabled but there is no DHCP server or
slow to response, the OCTO MK2 will fall
back to 192.168.0.10.
IP Address / NetMask / Gateway:
These
are used to set when DHCP is disabled.
These options set the Static IP address,
Netmask and Gateway IP settings which
should be compatible with other devices
on the network.
LED Protocol:
Select the SPI protocol from
the drop-down list or set a custom value
that matches the Pixels which the OCTO
MK2 will control.
The OCTO MK2 provides more than 20
output pixel protocols listed below.

Each port can have a different pixel output protocol. The pixel protocols selected can be output directly to
your pixel fixtures.
The OCTO MK2 also features custom voltage timing to most of the pixel protocols configurable in each port
settings individually. The custom voltage timing of the chosen pixel protocol can be adjusted according to
its datasheet. Visit ENTTEC website to view the ‘OCTO MK2 Custom Protocol Creation Guide’ document if your
SPI protocol is not listed.)
The adjustable custom values are:
Bit 0 High Time: The voltage high time required to indicate code 0, also
known as T0H.
Bit 1 High Time: The voltage high time required to indicate code 1, also
known as T1H.
Overall Bit Time: The total voltage time for a single bit which can be
calculated from TH+TL.
Reset Time: The total voltage low time required to reset the data transmission between each data batch.
