the ODE web pages to be accessed. Home page provides
the following information:
System Information
: Name, Firmware Version and Serial
No. of the unit. The Serial No. is unique to this unit and
can be used to identify this unit.
Current Network Settings
: Configured IP address and Link
speed for the unit.
Current Port Settings
: Configured Port Type, Protocol and
Universe for the unit. This serves as a quick place to
check all the Port related settings.
Current DMX buffer
: allows you to see the current DMX
values for the Port. The buffer is a snapshot only, but can
be refreshed manually.
To change any of the displayed settings, you must use
the Settings page.
Network Settings
Node name is used to identify the ODE on the network.
Any meaningful name can be used.
DHCP is enabled by default. When enabled, the router on
your network is expected to automatically provide the IP
address to the ODE. If no DHCP router/server is present
on the network, the manual IP address will be used.
If for some reason, your unit does not get an IP address
via DHCP, please restart the ODE with the Ethernet cable
connected. It will listen for DHCP on start-up and wait for
a few seconds, before giving up.
IP Address and Netmask are only used if DHCP is disabled
or is unavailable on your network. ODE web-page will warn
you, if non-standard IP address or netmask is used.
If ever you manage to use an IP Address that can't be con-
nected to later, please perform the reset procedure (as de-
scribed later). The reset will re-enable DHCP on ODE.
Input Send Mode: allows you to pick either broadcasting or
a specified unicast IP address. Broadcast address is based
on the subnet mask shown.
Art-Net Address: Net and Subnet can be selected here, and
comply with Art-Net 3 protocol. Universe can be selected
from the DMX Port Settings.
sACN CID: The current CID for ODE is displayed here, and will
be use in all sACN communication.
DMX Port Settings
Port Types
:
Output
: Ethernet to DMX Output, based on the se-
lected protocol.
Input
: DMX Input to Ethernet, sends the selected
protocol on the network.
Disabled
: Does not process any DMX (input or out-
put).
RDM Enabled
: Enables RDM over Art-Net support on
the port. Only available when Art-Net is selected
and Port Type is output.
Protocol and Universe must be selected to match the set-
tings of the remote sender or receiver connected to the LAN.
Refresh Rate
The rate at which ODE will output the Data from DMX port
(40 Frames per second is default). It will repeat the last re-
ceived LAN frame to comply with DMX standard. However, if
you do not want to repeat the last frame use
“follow source”
as the refresh rate. This option will match the rate at which
the source sends at.
Merging Support
Merging option is only available when port is set to Output.
Any incoming DMX on the same universe, but from different
IP addresses is treated as a separate DMX source.
Available Merging options:
