M329 - Artnet input issues

[Mr_P]

If you only have the hog connected - and no other artnet devices, ensure that the hog has an artnet address in the same range: 2.0.0.x and try setting the subnet mask on the artnet adaptor to 255.255.255.0

Is the additional network DHCP assigned?
It seems that this takes precedence, even when network service order if set to artnet adaptor. Try making it a static address if appropriate.

Are you sure that theres nothing connected to the 'additional network' that may be generating artnet?

Forget Gateway address. That only pertains to routing network traffic from one network to another. ArtNet doesn't have anything to do with that.

Simon is right about tightening the subnet though but with only a few devices, it won't make a difference. If you wanted to you could even go as tight as 255.255.255.252 which is the subnet for only two addresses x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.2 but this is still not necessary.

255.255.255.0 is fine because it works for all the addresses in the last subnet. x.x.x.1 - x.x.x.254.

A question... Is there a reason you're using ArtNet 0 universe 1-3? Could you try something higher than 4 for the universe or try switching the Artnet subnet to something higher than 0? The reason I ask is because Catalyst has a default of broadcasting to the first 4 universes so making a change from this helps alleviate problems.
