3.7 Ethernet connection

The xtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control soft-

ware running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol.

Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow

transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.

IP address is the Internet protocol address.The IP uniquely identies any node (xture) on a network.

The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.

The Robin Pointe is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input.Use a network cable category 5 (with

four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the xture to the network.

RJ-45 socket (front view): RJ-45 plug (front view):

1- TD+ 5- Not connected

2- TD- 6- RX-

3- RX+ 7- Not connected

4- Not connected 8- Not connected

Patch cables that connect xtures to the hubs or LAN sockets are wired 1:1,that is,pins with the same numbers

are connected together:

1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8

If only the xture and the computer are to be interconnected,no hubs or other active components are needed.

A cross-cable has to be used:

1-3 2-6 3-1 4-8 5-7 6-2 7-5 8-4

If the xture is connected with active Ethernet socket (e.g. switch) the network icon will appear at the

bottom right corner of the screen:

Direct Ethernet operation

Connect the Ethernet inputs of all xtures with the Ethernet network.

Option “Artnet (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN)" has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu on the xture.

Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe.

(DMX address=129) (DMX address=24) (DMX address=1)

IP addres=002.168.002.004 IP addres=002.168.002.003 IP addres=002.168.002.002

Universe=1 Universe=1 Universe=1

An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from xture IP addresses)

NET mask: 255.0.0.0
