MasterPort 2

Ethernet
Data transfer rate
The MasterPort 2 is characterized by high throughput and low latency (delay) in both directions.
The Ethernet interface supports up to 100MBit/s and the internal CPU runs on a very fast real-time
multitasking operating system. So a maximum throughput of more than 1000 network packets per
second is possible.
Ethernet protocols
The LSS MasterPort 2 supports the following protocols:

Art-Net

ShowNet

AVAB/UDP

AVAB/IPX

sACN
The default Ethernet protocol of the MasterPort 2 is the non-proprietary Art-Net of ArtisticLi-
cence. The current protocol version is 1.4bd III.
IP parameters
For all TCP/IP based protocols you can still define the following parameters:

IP address manually / Art-Net 2.xxx / Art-Net 10.xxx / DHCP

IP subnet mask

Gateway IP
Merge settings
The MasterPort 2 is able to merge up to four channels on HTP when they send on the same subnet
/ universe. This distinguishes this device from most of other nodes. For instance Art-Net supports
one or two transmitters only.
Priorities are supported, if permitted by the lighting protocol. But proprietary extensions, such as
“Priorities per circle”, will be not supported.
