Within this Menu, the User can set the DMX8008 IP Address
From the Tcp/Ip Setup, pressing the Button 1 / Enter, the following sub-menu is entered:
Here, the first digit of the IP will be blinking, which means the User can modify the digit's value using the
Up/Down buttons.
Once assigned the desired value to the digit, confirm it pressing the Enter button.
After a while, the system will automatically go to the second digit of the IP address, which will start blinking.
With the Button Page, a digit can be skipped without being modified, so using Page is possible to scroll into the
all 4 digits of the IP Address, without the necessity to modify them.
The first digit of the IP Address can range from 1 to 223, the second and third digits can range from 0 to 255
and the fourth digit from 1 to 255.
The system will automatically compute the right “Sub Net Mask” value to assign to the Unit, once defined the
IP address.
The Sub Net Mask values are the following:
1. IP Address from IP=001.0.0.2 up to IP=126.255.255.254, SubNetMask = FF000000h (Class A)
2. IP Address from IP=127.0.0.2 up to IP=191.255.255.254, SubNetMask = FFFF0000h (Class B)
3. IP Address from IP=192.0.0.2 up to IP=223.255.255.254, SubNetMask = FFFFFF00h (Class C)
Once set properly the IP Address, the Tcp/Ip setup Menu can be left using the Esc button.
Within this Menu, the User can chose between the USB or RS485 connection type to be used for a remote
control.
From the USB/RS485 Setup page
pressing the Button 1 / Enter, the following sub-menu is entered:
Here, the communication interface to be used can be selected: USB/RS485/Automatic.
The Tcp/Ip connection is EVER available.
In the USB mode, the DMX8008 can be controlled via USB interface or via Tcp/Ip connection.
If selected, the USB interface will be active as default when the DMX8008 is turned ON.
In the RS485 mode, the DMX8008 can be controlled via USB interface or via Tcp/Ip connection.
If selected, the RS485 interface will be active as default when the DMX8008 is turned ON.
If selected the Automatic Mode, the unit will continuously “switch” between USB and RS485 (each about
100ms), looking for an available Remote Control on one of the 2 interfaces.
Once found an available one, the DMX8008 will communicate via the interface corresponding to the one found.
If selected, the Automatic interface will be active as default when the DMX8008 is turned ON.
The currently active connection type, will be displayed on the extreme right of the LCD's top row, with the
U/R/A symbols (USB/RS495/Automatic).
