If the converter obtained the IP address from the DHCP server, unplugging the network cable will cause the loss of the assigned IP address. If PX787 is reconnected to the network, it will try to get a new address from the DHCP server, if it fails to receive the address, it will work according to the saved static settings.
5.1 Change of the computer network configuration The procedure for changing the computer network configuration varies depending on the operating system. Windows ® 7 system is an example here. Change of the computer network configuration in the Windows ® 7 operating system in done in the following : 1.

6.3.2 Copy settings The web interface allows to copy the configured ballast settings to other devices on the DALI line. This option speeds up the configuration of many ballasts (if they are to have the same parameters). To do this, first configure the device, and then in the Controller tab select the icon in the Actions column.

RDM – available parameters The PX787 supports the DMX – RDM protocol. DMX protocol allows only of a one-way data transmission, while its extension the RDM protocol can transmit information in two directions. This makes possible to simultaneously send and receive information, and hence the possibility of monitoring activities of the compatible devices.
