Once found, select ODE and use the IP address
to access the web-interface via your web
browser.
Web Configuration
The ODE Mk2 can be configured and controlled through a
web browser, running on a computer system, located on
the same Local Area Network. Any modern web browser,
such as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or
Opera, running under any operating system, including
Windows 7/8, Mac OS X or Linux can be used.
Either click on the underlined url displayed, or type the
IP address (as detected by NMU) into your web browser
to access the ODE Web Interface. The left side menu al-
lows all 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 con-
nected. 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.
