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). Because

the product has no 'Net' wheel selectors,

configuration must be done remotely if a port

address greater than 256 is required.

Note that settings made remotely override the

wheel selectors on the front panel, in effect

locking them out. If the all the LED indicators

flash 3 times when a wheel selector setting

is changed, this means that the product has

been remotely configured.

Remote Configuration

There are two ways of remotely configuring

Net-Lynx O/P. These are: 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 Net-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.

Net-Lynx O/P User Guide

'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 LED indicators.

Normal is the default behaviour, locate

causes the selected port 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\Artistic Licence\DMX-

Workshop\Firmware as e.g. AL500x v1-76.

alf. Selection of the desired file is made via a

pop-up window that shows the available files.

It is strongly recommended that the firmware

upgrade be applied to all output ports (check

the 'Tick All' box in the next window).

IP Address Configuration

Choosing the 'Configure IP Address' in the

'Advanced' menu brings up a window that

shows the IP and Subnet Mask.

The IP uniquely identifies any nodes or

controllers on a network, while the Subnet
