Node Name:
The name the Storm 8 will be
discoverable with in Poll replies.
DHCP:
Enabled by default. When enabled,
the DHCP server on the network is
expected to automatically provide the IP
address to the Storm 8. If no DHCP
router/server is present or DHCP is
disabled, the Storm 8 will fall back to the
static IP address.
IP Address / NetMask / Gateway:
These
are used if DHCP is disabled or
unavailable. These options set the Static
IP address. These settings should be set to
be compatible with other devices on the
network.
Protocol:
Choose between Art-Net, sACN
and ESP as the Protocol.
Enabled:
Choose from the following
options:
□
Yes – DMX will be outputted from this port.
□
No - DMX will not be outputted from this port.
Universe:
Set the Ethernet-DMX protocols Universe. For Art-Net, set the Net, Subnet and Universe.
Refresh Rate:
The rate at which Storm 8 will output the Data from its DMX port (40 Frames per second
is default). It will repeat the last received frame to comply with DMX standard.
Merge Type:
When enabled, this can allow the merging for two Ethernet-DMX sources from different IP
address whilst sending on the same Universe in either a LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) or HTP (Highest
Takes Precedence) merge. More information can be found in the Functional Features section of this
document.
