DMX-Workshop
DMX-Workshop™ is a fully featured network
management, analysis, configuration and
diagnostics tool for lighting networks. You can
download the free software from our website.
When daliGate quad is connected to a
computer running DMX-Workshop, it should
be detected and displayed as an Art-Net node
Click the 'Node List' icon to see this (Fig. 2).
Fig 2: DMX-Workshop main menu
The node can be expanded to show the
configuration and DALI output information
(see Fig. 3 below).

Right-clicking on any entry brings up a menu
that offers various functionality:
The 'Configure Node' option enables
y
configuration of the Universe, Sub-Net
and Net values. It also allows the user to
give the device a short and long name.
'Copy to clipboard' enables all the node
y
information to be pasted into a support
request email.
'Merge Controls' (selectable only on
y
individual DALI outputs) enables the
choice of LTP or HTP merge modes.

'Indicators' enables selection of normal,
y
identify or mute for the LED indicators.
Normal is the default behaviour, identify
causes the power LED to flash, and
mute turns off all the LEDs.
'RDM Devices' offers options for device
y
discovery and configuration.
'Advanced' leads to 'Programme Upload'
y
and 'Configure IP Address and DHCP'.
IP Address Configuration
The static IP, subnet mask and
functionality can be controlled via the
Advanced menu option mentioned above.
The IP address uniquely identifies any nodes
or controllers on a network, while the Subnet
Mask defines which part of the IP represents
the network address and which part represents
the node address. For example, a Subnet
Mask of 255.0.0.0 means that the first byte of
the IP defines the network address and the
remaining 3 bytes define the Node address.
By default, the product has a static IP address
in the range 2.x.x.x. There are situations in
which the user may wish to change this - for
example, a 192.168.x.x address is generally
used in office environments.
A useful additional feature is the ability to
enable automatic IP address allocation on
networks controlled by a DHCP server (check
the 'Enable DHCP' box to activate).
Pressing the 'Recovery' icon on the main
toolbar (see Fig. 2) enables LLRP (Link Layer
Recovery Protocol). This allows the gateway
to be IP addressed even when it is on an off-
network IP address.
Virtual RDM Devices
Each DALI output circuit contains 3 virtual
RDM devices that are used to access the
Broadcast, Group and Device.
The first RDM device
a footprint of 1 and its default DMX address is 1.
Expanding the combined sub-device shows
all the DALI commands that are valid for
broadcast (see Fig 4. below).
