Phantom 300 LED Matrix
Connecting to a Network
ArtNet settings
01)
Install any ArtNet-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac) or use a light controller which
supports ArtNet.
02)
Connect the power supply to the Phantom 300 LED Matrix..
03)
Connect the device’s Ethernet connector (13) to your software/light controller’s Ethernet connector,
using a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
04)
Set the IP address of your software/light controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the ArtNet
settings.
05)
Set the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. on both – the Phantom and your software/light controller. Make
sure that all the fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
06)
If you want to connect more fixturex, follow the example below.
Example: The Phantom 300 LED Matrix, 120-channel mode.
01)
Make sure that each connected Phantom has a unique IP address.
02)
Make sure that the subnet mask on each device is set to 255.0.0.0.
03)
Set the universe of the first Phantom to 1.
04)
Set the first Phantom’s DMX address to 001.
05)
Connect your Phantoms, inserting ascending universe numbers. Each universe has a maximum of 15
subnets.
06)
Once you have reached the final subnet of the first universe, set the universe of the next Phantom to
2 and its DMX address to 001.
07)
Repeat steps 5 and 6 up to 15 times, each time inserting ascending universe numbers (as there are
15 universes available).
08)
If you have reached the final universe of your current net, and you still want to connect more
devices, set the net value of the following Phantom to 2 and repeat steps 4-7 .
09)
Now, you are able to connect more Phantoms, as each separate net is equipped with 15 universes,
15 subnets each. There are 127 nets in total (the number of nets depends on the software which you
use).
10)
Using your software (for example 50224 - Arkaos Media Master Express), map all the connected
devices, using the settings described above.
11)
The Phantoms are now ready for use.
12)
When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to
distribute the ArtNet data signal.
