LED SPI-2 Install
Product code: 50412
Connecting to a Network
Art-Net Settings
01) Install any Art-Net-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac) or use a light controller which
supports Art-Net.
02) Connect the device’s RJ45 connector to the RJ45 connector of the lighting controller/network
switch, using a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
03) Set the IP address of your computer/light controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the Art-Net
settings. See 6.6.6. IP Mode on pages 26 for more information.
04) Set the Subnet mask on all devices. See 6.6.7. Netmask on page 27 for more information.
05) Make sure that all fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
06) If you want to connect more fixtures, follow the example below.
Note: When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed Ethernet switch to
distribute the Art-Net data signal.
Example settings:
If you want to connect multiple devices using Art-Net protocol, proceed as follows:
01)
Set the universe of the first LED SPI-2 to 000. See 6.6.3.1 Universe on page 23.
02) Set the DMX starting address of the first LED SPI-2 to 001.
03) If you want to operate the LED SPI-2 in 510-channel DMX mode, you can connect only 1 devices.
Due to the channel limit of 512, you cannot connect the second fixture to the same data line, as it
would result in limited functionality of this device.
04) In order to solve this problem, set the universe of the second LED SPI-2 to 1 and its DMX address
to 001.
05) When connecting multiple devices, you can repeat steps 1 to 4 up to 255 times, each time inserting
ascending universe numbers (as there are 256 universes available).
06) Map all connected devices. The connected LED SPI-2 fixtures are now ready for use.
There are 512 channels in 1 universe. The universe number is made up of the sub and the port numbers
(sub:port). Thus, the number of the 1
st
universe will be 000 (00:00), the number of the 2
nd
– 001 (00:01), etc.
There are 256 universes in 1 net. The last universe in the net will have the number 255 (15:15).
Note: Counting begins at 0.
Art-Net is a protocol that uses TCP/IP to transfer large amount of DMX-512 data over an Ethernet network.
Art-Net 4 can support up to 32768 universes. Art-Net™ Designed by and Copyright Artistic Licence

Kling-Net Settings
01) Install any Kling-Net-based software on your PC (Windows or Mac), for example 50180 – Arkaos LED
Master or 50224 – Media Master Express 4.0.
02) Make sure that your PC has a fixed IP Address. The LED SPI-2 requires no further network setting
adjustments.
03) Connect the LED SPI-2 with a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable to your computer. Once you have connected the
devices, they will automatically be recognized by the software.
04) Map the devices, using the “drag-and-drop” method, by placing the fixtures in “on-screen”
interface in the right position. Now the system is completely set up.
Note:
When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed Ethernet switch to distribute
the Kling-Net data signal.
