Art-Net II), this is achieved by setting the

(4-bit) Universe and Sub-Net numbers (see

'Configuration' below).

In contrast, Art-Net 3 and sACN can carry up

to 32768 and 65536 universes respectively.

To handle these large values, the concept

of a 16-bit port address including a 'Net'

field is introduced. The port address of each

DMX512 universe is a number composed of

the (Net)+(Sub-Net)+(Universe).

Note that settings made remotely override the

wheel selector on the front panel.

Configuration

By default, each port of the Data-Lynx O/P

has a sequential universe number starting

from zero. There are two ways of remotely

configuring the product: 1) using DMX-

Workshop or 2) using the product's internal

web-server.

DMX-Workshop

DMX-Workshop™ is a software application

that runs on the Windows XP & Windows 7

platforms. It is free of charge and available via

download from the Artistic Licence website.

DMX-Workshop is a fully featured network

management, analysis, configuration and

diagnostics tool for Art-Net networks.

When Data-Lynx O/P is connected to a

computer running DMX-Workshop, it should

be detected and displayed as an Art-Net node

(click the 'Node List' tab to verify this).

The node can be expanded to show the

configuration and DMX output information, as

shown in the screen-shot opposite.

Right-clicking on any entry brings up a menu

that offers various functionality:

The 'Configure Node' option enables

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

information to be pasted into a support

request email.

Data-Lynx O/P User Guide

DMX-Workshop Node List

Note port address structure:

(Net)-(Sub-Net)-(Universe)

'Merge Controls' (selectable only on

individual DMX outputs) enables the

choice of LTP (latest takes preference)

or HTP (highest takes preference) merge

modes.

'Indicators' enables selection of normal,

locate or mute for the front panel

LED indicators. Normal is the default

behaviour, locate causes the selected

port 'Stat' LED to flash, and mute turns

off all the LEDs.

'RDM Devices' offers options for device

discovery on RDM networks.

'Advanced' leads to 'Programme Upload'

and 'Configure IP Address'. These are

described in more detail below.

Firmware Upgrades

The 'Programme Upload' option enables

the user to upgrade the product's firmware.

DMX-Workshop stores the firmware files in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Artistic Licence\DMX-

Workshop\Firmware\*.alf.

Selection of the desired file is made via a

pop-up window that shows the available files.

Ensure that the firmware upgrade is applied

to all ports (check the 'Tick All' box in the

next window). Cycle the power following a

successful firmware upload.
