Net
This setting is only available when the Art-Net version is set to
Art-Net 3
or with firmware versions prior to version
1.01.
To adjust the Art-Net net of the node, navigate to
Home > Menu > Art-Net > Net
and adjust the number using the
encoder wheel. Once the desired number has been selected, push [OK] to apply the new setting or press [Cancel] to
abort.
This part of the Art-Net address was introduced with Art-Net 3. In order to work with Art-Net I and Art-Net II
controllers, Art-Net net needs to be set to 0.
Note that changing this setting while independent Art-Net universes are enabled still affects all Art-Net port
addresses. For more information, see Independent Universes below.
Sub-Net
This setting is only available when the Art-Net version is set to
Art-Net 3
or with firmware versions prior to version
1.01.
The Art-Net sub-net is configured under
Home > Menu > Art-Net > Sub-Net
in the same way the Net is configured.
Note that changing this setting while independent Art-Net universes are enabled still affects all Art-Net port
addresses. For more information, see Independent Universes below.
Independent Universes
This setting is only available with firmware versions that appeared before version 1.01. Newer firmware versions
provide the same functionality when the Art-Net version is set to
Art-Net 4
. The main advantage of the Art-Net 4
support over the obsolete independent universes functionality is that Art-Net 4 support allows an Art-Net 4 aware
controller to properly understand and, if supported by the controller, configure the port address of each port
whether the ports share a common net and sub-net address or not.
Independent Art-Net universes may be enabled and disabled under
Home > Menu > Art-Net > Independent Universes
.
If independent Art-Net universes are enabled, the ports of the Art-Net node do not need to share the same Art-Net
net and sub-net addresses.
When this feature is enabled, each output port has an independent port address in the range of 0 to 32767, which is
computed from the Art-Net net, sub-net and universe number. This allows for configuring the node to any combination
of Art-Net universes. However, if the Art-Net net or the Art-Net sub-net settings are changed (remotely or in the
menu), each output port address is recomputed. For more information on the addressing of the Art-Net ports, see
section Representations of Art-Net Port Addresses in the appendix.
Unfortunately, due to restrictions of Art-Net, the node may no longer correctly report the port addresses of its outputs
to a controller when this feature is enabled, which might confuse a controller and lead to problems. Therefore, it is
recommended to avoid enabling independent universes whenever possible.
