PoE PROPERTIES (POE Models)
PoE TOTAL DRAW (W)
Displays the current power draw from connected PoE devices.
ADVANCED PROPERTIES
ART-NET ALTERNATE MAPPING
Enabled
(by default). When enabled, Art-Net Universe 0:0 is treated as Universe 1. When disabled, Art-Net universe 0:0 is
ignored.
This feature is used in conjunction with the “
Art-Net Trap and Convert
” feature.
It is a device parent-level property;
it
is enabled across the entire device. The Art-Net Trap and Convert property can be enabled on a port-by-port basis.
The Art-Net protocol uses two hexadecimal numbers, a ‘subnet’ and a ‘universe’, to define its DMX universe numbering.
Numbering is usually shown as # - # and the valid range is from 0 - 0 (zero-zero) to F- F.
However, most other common protocols, including sACN, do not have a universe ‘zero’. The issue is compounded because
some early Art-Net implementations are shown in a straight decimal representation (1, 2, 3, 4…) without any indication if “1”
corresponds to Art-Net universe 0-0 or to 0-1.
Art-Net controllers are strongly urged not to transmit on 0-0
.
By default, Art-Net Universe 0-0 is ignored by the VIA and the packets discarded. When Art-Net Alternate Mapping is
enabled, VIA switches will map Art-Net Universe 0-0 to Pathscape Universe 1. When Alternate Art-Net Mapping is disabled,
Art-Net Universe 0-0 will be ignored by the VIA and Art-Net Universe 0-1 will be routed as Pathscape Universe 1.
USER ID
Custom numeric identification for external databases.
DEVICE RESTORE POINT VALID
Shows
True
of
False
depending on whether the current Device Restore Point is valid.
