The Freedom Par Quad-4 IP operates by itself in Standalone mode.
It also operates in Master/Slave mode, or in Wireless DMX mode, both of which require
wireless DMX linking. In Master/Slave mode the master product sends wireless DMX
signals to the slaves. In Wireless DMX mode a lighting control board or D-Fi product
must send wireless DMX signals to the products.
To DMX-link a number of Freedom Par Quad-4 IP using wireless D-Fi, see
(DMX Mode Manual
Sync).
Information about DMX is in the DMX Primer, which is available from the Chauvet
website www.chauvetlighting.com/download/.
To ensure full access to all channels in each DMX mode, the highest recommended
DMX address is 503.
Master/Slave mode allows a single Freedom Par Quad-4 IP (the master) to wirelessly
control the actions of one or more Freedom products (the slaves) without a DMX
controller.
The master will be set to operate in either an auto program, static color, or custom color
mixing mode, while the slaves will be set to operate in wireless DMX receiver mode.
Once set, the slaves will operate in unison with the master. Configure the units as
indicated below.

the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you
could restrict the access to some of the product's channels.
