The ÉPIX Drive 900 operates by routing one of three Ethernet protocols (Art-Net™, sACN, or
Kling-Net) to the ÉPIX Tour products linked to the output of the Drive. The Ethernet protocol
must be set for the products to respond correctly to the controller. See the Menu Map for more
information on menu options.
To configure the protocol for the ÉPIX Drive 900, follow the instructions below:
1.
Press <MENU> repeatedly until Protocol shows on the display.
2.
Press <ENTER>.
3.
Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Art-Net, Kling-Net, or sACN.
4.
Press <ENTER>.
Each ÉPIX Drive 900 uses 6 consecutive universes in Art-Net™ mode and sACN mode, which
are assigned by setting the starting (lowest-numbered) universe address.
To set the address of the starting universe, do the following:
1.
Press <MENU> repeatedly until Start Universe shows on the display.
2.
Press <ENTER>.
3.
Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select a starting universe address, 0–250 (for Art-Net™),
or 1–250 (for sACN).
4.
Press <ENTER>.
Each universe can support up to 3 ÉPIX Strip Tour products or 1 ÉPIX Bar Tour product.
Regardless of the order in which they are connected, ÉPIX Strip Tour products will be
grouped together, 3 to a universe.
In Art-Net™ and sACN mode, the ÉPIX Drive 900 dedicates a separate IP address for each
universe. To set any of the 6 IP addresses in the ÉPIX Drive 900, follow the instructions below:
1.
Press <MENU> repeatedly until IP Address #X shows on the display.
2.
Press <ENTER>.
3.
Use <UP>or <DOWN> to set the highlighted number.
4.
Press <ENTER>.
5.
Repeat steps 3-4 until the IP address is set as desired.
·
The beginnings of the IP addresses can be set to 2 or 10 in Art-Net™ mode. In sACN
mode, they can also be set to 239. The beginnings of each IP address will always
match.
·
The IP addresses cannot be identical.
The ÉPIX Drive 900 addresses connected products with the Auto Address function. To perform
