The network interface, developed by
Pathway Connectivity Solutions
, supports all major
Ethernet protocols:
ArtNet
Pathport Protocol
Strand Shownet
ETC Net2 eDMX, and ETC Net3
Streaming ACN (E1.31 sACN)
If you do not have a control program, install
Pathport Manager
(
5.2
or above) by downloading
the latest build from
www.pathwayconnect.com
.
Before launching
Pathport Manager 5.2
, the computer’s network interface card (NIC) must be
set to the same IP domain and subnet mask as the Pathport nodes, or the nodes will be shown as
‘questionable (can’t fetch props, can’t fetch patch)’. The default settings for Pathport nodes are
in the
10.x.x.x
IP range with subnet mask of
255.0.0.0
.
If the computer uses a wireless card, you may be obliged to disable it and turn the transmitter
off.
If you are using a firewall, disable it too or allow a security exception to allow the program
(
Pathport Manager
and
Java) to
communicate through the firewall.
Connect to the
MDG theONE
via an Ethernet switch, using a normal Ethernet cable.
Switch the control mode to Ethernet («
INTERFACE
COMM.
ETHERNET
»).
Start
Pathport Manager 5
by clicking on the PathportManager5 icon.
Follow the prompts to set up an Administrator account. You must be logged in as Administrator
to make configuration changes.
The node will be discovered in the background while you log in, and sorted by current name.
Read carefully the full manual of
PathPort Manager
to learn how to use this program. In
this manual, we will focus ONLY on the
MDG theONE
functions
.
