Typical Layout
A typical network system will contain at least one console, one or more N
1s, and an Ethernet
ODE
switch. In the system shown above, the console is connected by an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet
switch. An Ethernet cable is connected from the switch to each N
1. CAT5e or higher cabling is
ODE
required for 100Mbs operation in an Ethernet network.
Network Setup
There are a number of considerations when connecting and configuring a lighting control network.
The first option to consider is whether the system IP addresses will be dynamically assigned by a
DHCP server or if static assigned IP addresses will be used. Doug Fleenor Design's N
1 is
ODE
capable of either DHCP or static IP addressing schemes. Doug Fleenor Design recommends using
static IP addresses in an entertainment lighting control network. In a static IP environment, the user
will manually set the IP address of each unit in the network. Care must be taken to make sure that
each N
1 has the same subnet mask and that each unit has a unique IP address in that subnet.
ODE
The N
1 comes from the factory with a static IP in the range of 10.X.X.X, which is based on its
ODE
MAC address. Note that when DHCP is enabled and no DHCP server is available (such as when
physically connected to the console), the N
1 will use its currently programmed static IP address.
ODE
On loss of the Ethernet link (such as when the network cable is unplugged from the unit), the N
1
ODE
will revert back to its programmed static IP. In a DHCP environment, IP address and Subnet Masks
for the N
1 are configured automatically from the DHCP server. Most routers have a built-in DHCP
ODE
server.
The other major consideration is what network protocol to use. There are three network protocols
supported by the N
1. They are ANSI E1.31(Streaming ACN), Draft Streaming ACN, and Artistic
ODE
License's Artnet Version 3 or prior. Doug Fleenor Design highly recommends the use of ANSI E1.31
Streaming ACN in networks for its scalability and higher performance characteristics. Streaming
ACN has no restrictions on IP whereas an Artnet IP must be in the range 2.X.X.X or 10.X.X.X with a
subnet of 255.0.0.0.
