In the grandMA family, there are multiple networking possibilities. In the following description, we will use the
abbreviation
grandMA
or “unit“ for any grandMA, grandMA light, grandMA ultra-light, grandMA RPU, grandMA-
Offline, and grandMA 3D, as they are all equipped with the same software options and only differ in their hardware
(Offline and 3D, however, cannot create any DMX). The PDA remote control is
not a unit in the above sense, and will
not be explained. The MICRO can only network with a 3D.
If in the network there is a device having a transmission rate of more than 10Mbit, the whole network will be reduced
to that transmission rate.
