Network
ArtNet
This option allows you to set up the various parameters associated with transmitting the
DMX output from the desk over Ethernet.
Currently only the ArtNet standard is supported on the desk but other protocols may be
added in due course.
Press the [Network] key on the Setup screen. The [ArtNet] option is selected automatically.
A network connection between the Frog 2 and an ArtNet supportive device is required in
order to utilise the ArtNet facilities of the console. This network connection can take many
forms, but most commonly a Crossover Cat-5 cable or a network hub and two straight
wired Cat-5 cables can be used.
Devices receiving ArtNet must be located in the same subnet and IP range as the
transmitting console. For Capture, it is suggested you set the computer IP address to
2.0.0.#. Once the computer IP address is set, start up the console and computer.
The following table summarises the ArtNet options:
Transmit ArtNet Enables or Disables ArtNet transmission.
Network Switch
2 or 10. ArtNet allows two separate network IP ranges.
Most people use 2.0.0.x
Subnet
The penultimate number in the 2.0.0.x IP range.
Used for multiple ArtNet networks on a single network.
Universe x Port
Each port can be allocated a separate port, or be disabled.
This port must be matched with the ArtNet receiving device
(Light Converse, etc).
Light Converse
Integration Allows additional functionality to be used with Light Converse
(eg bi-directional patching, fixture selection etc.)
