Thread: Enttec ethergate artnet connection issue

  1. #11
    Guys,

    I've just spoken to Simon Hobday at AL. He mentioned that in one of the firmware builds they tightened up on the sequence count of DMX in the way the Art Net boxes output DMX.

    This is field 5 on page 35 of the artistic license DMX spec.

    Simon mentioned that before this was tightened up in the spec the DMX Workshop monitoring software was capable of reading Art-Net info which was not correctly picked up by other units.

    It is possible it was this firmware change which fixed the way the Ether Lynx "talked" DMX to the PixelMad Mac when I upgraded my firmaware (see previous post).

    Perhaps the ethergate guys have a similar issue.

    Simon suggested they check all of the other restrictions of the specifcation on page 35 as it may be something like this.

    Hope this helps,

    Rob

    normally incorrect subnet mask set in ethernet settings.

    needs to be 255.0.0.0 as far as i remember

    just did a gig with an etherlynx box. worked first time.

    ;o)

    Definitely wasn't the subnet mask on this occasion!

    But you are right (once you have the correct firmware) the ether-lynx boxes work just fine.

    i never upgraded any firmware.
