4.10 Ethernet connection
The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control soft
-
ware running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol.
Art-Net communication protocol is a 0 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow
transfer of large amounts of DMX 5 data over a wide area using standard network technology.
IP address
is the Internet protocol address.The IP uniquely identifies any node (fixture) on a network.
The Universe
is a single DMX 5 frame of 5 channels.
The Robin MMX Spot is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input.Use a network cable category 5
(with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the fixture to the network.

Patch cables that connect fixtures to the hubs or LAN sockets are wired 1:1,that is,pins with the same numbers
are connected together:

3-3
4-4
5-5
6-6
7-7
8-8
If only the fixture and the computer are to be interconnected,no hubs or other active components are needed.
A cross-cable has to be used:

If the fixture is connected with active Ethernet socket (e.g. switch) the network icon
will appear at the
bottom right corner of the screen:
Direct Ethernet operation
Connect the Ethernet inputs of all fixtures with the Ethernet network.
Option “ Artnet" (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN) has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu at each fixture.
Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe at each fixture.
An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from fixture IP addresses)
