If the DMX update rate is low, it’s possible to increase the value in the field “Hardware update rate”, most of the 
systems Works well with 30 fps (frames per second). The ideal is to test in practice, checking if the lighting 
stops responding at some point, in this case it is better to use lower values.

The interface and the network card must have the same subnet mask number. Check the final chapters in the 
manual to know the procedures of IP changing in your computer. 

To check if the communication with the interface is working, simply enter, in the command prompt, the 
command ping 192.168.0.30 ( or the IP address configured in the interface, if it was changed): 

 

To use the UNICAST mode it’s importante that there is na answer from each network interface PING,in case this 
is not possible, must be checked the settings of the network, routers (access point/ switches, as a last resort 
try with another router model), interfaces the computer itself (probably the firewall or any antivirus is blocking 
the communication). Remembering that if only 1 interface is used in the network, or if all interfaces use the 
same Art-Net universe the BROADCAST mode may be used (chapter 3.2.1). 

In case the net is properly configured and the PING answering, the setting of the interfaces inside the software 
is simple, in software Lumikit SHOW (or Lumikit LED), do the following procedure: 

a)

 

Click in the button “Interfaces”, at the top right side; 

b)

 

In case there is any interface in the list, click in “Remove All”; 

c)

 

In displayed window “Interface settings”, click “Auto” (2) and after a few seconds the interfaces must be 
automatically located:
