Network
NOTE
Write down your existing settings and values before making any
changes to these settings.
These settings are used when data is sent to your lights using the Ethernet
port. Data sent using the
(s) alone is not affected.
The following descriptions assume a basic knowledge of Ethernet networking
terms, concepts and practices.
Network Mode: Determines the method Cognito uses to obtain a network IP
address and subnet mask.
Pathport: Sets the IP address using the standard Pathport method. IP
address is generated in the 10.x.x.x range, using the serial number of the
console. Subnet mask is always set to Class A, or 255.0.0.0. Not editable.
Static: The user enters a specific IP address and subnet mask. Care must be
taken that no other device on the network uses the same IP address.
Automatic: Cognito waits to be assigned an IP address by an on-line service
such as a DHCP server. If no server is found, Cognito will use the last
address assigned to it. Not editable.
Advanced (default): To determine its IP address and subnet mask, Cognito
will: a) seek an address from a DHCP server; b) utilize an IP generated using
the standard Pathport rules; c) auto-generate an IP address in the
169.254.x.x range using Avahi.
While in Advanced, you may also set the Base Address determination mode to be
Dynamic, Static or Off; turn the Pathport method on or off; or enable or disable
Avahi auto-generation. With the exception of Avahi, the Advanced option simply
provides simultaneous access to the methods shown individually under the other
option headings.
If more than one IP address is assigned, Cognito will send Ethernet eDMX using
all valid addresses.
