Infinity S401 Spot
Connecting to a Network
ArtNet Settings
01)
Install any ArtNet-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac) or use a light controller which
supports ArtNet.
02) Connect the power supply to the Infinity.
03) Connect the device’s Ethernet connector to your software/light controller’s Ethernet connector,
using a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
04) Set the IP address of your software/light controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the ArtNet
settings.
05) Set the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. on both – the Infinity and your software/light controller. Make sure
that all the fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
06) If you want to connect more fixtures, follow the example below.
Example:
01)
Make sure that each connected Infinity has a unique IP address.
02) Make sure that the subnet mask on each device is set to 255.0.0.0.
03) Set the universe of the first Infinity to 1.
04) Set the first Infinity’s DMX address to 001.
05) Please note, that you can connect only 13 devices (13 x 37 channels = 481 channels needed). Due
to the channel limit of 512, you cannot connect the 14
th
device to the same data line, as it would
result in limited functionality of the 14
th
device.
06) In order to solve this problem, set the universe of the 14
th
S401 to 2 and its DMX address to 001.
07) When connecting multiple devices, you can repeat steps 5 and 6 up to 255 times, each time
inserting ascending universe numbers (as there are 255 universes available).
08) Using your software (for example 50224 - Arkaos Media Master Express), map all the connected
devices, using the settings described above.
09) The Infinity S401’s are now ready for use.
10) When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to
distribute the ArtNet data signal.
