Protocol Setup Protocol By pressing the "Protocol" button, a new window will pop up. You can select Art-Net or sACN (e1.31). What are Art-Net and sACN? Art-Net: An Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP protocol suite. Its purpose is to allow transfer of large amounts of DMX512 data over a wide area using standard networking technology Streaming ACN (sACN): A protocol to efficiently transport DMX universes over the network, it is comparable to Art-Net in many aspects. - Page 11 Easy Priority By pressing the "Easy priority" section, a new window will pop up. You can turn the Easy Priority ON or OFF. What is Easy Priority? When easy priority is ON, when two or more of the same Art-Net/ sACN universes are coming into the ProPlex IQ node, the console with the higher channel 512 on a universe value will have control over that universe.
- Page 12 Source loss timeout By pressing the "Source loss timeout" button section, a new window will pop up. This setting determines how long the IQ Two will wait before using the Source Loss setting. This time is set in seconds. (5-120). Once the source loss timeout time has been reached, the IQ Two will revert to the Source Loss timeout setting.

Page 19: Output Configuration Menu
Output Configuration Menu Here you can change settings for each port. For each port you can assign: Universe; Port direction; RDM (ON or OFF); Port priority You can change the setting for all 16 DMX ports (change the universe, port direction, RDM status and port priority setting). By pressing the up arrow, you will switch to the next port setting screen (for example, if currently you are editing port "1", by pressing the up button you will be switched to port "2"). - Page 20 Port direction Here you can assign the port direction for each DMX port. RDM OFF/ON Here you can turn on/off RDM for the selected DMX port. What is RDM? Remote Device Management or RDM is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows bi- directional communication between a lighting or system controller and attached RDM compliant devices over a standard DMX line.
- Page 21 In cases where you wish to have multiple DMX sources talking to the same Art-Net or sACN universe, port priority allows for prioritization of input ports. If two or more ports have the same priority, they will be merged when their priority is currently highest. Touchscreen calibration There are two ways to open the touch screen calibration menu: 1) When the node is turning on, press anywhere on the "ProPlex 1616"...
- Page 22 ProPlex IQ Ethernet to DMX nodes can be configured and monitored via two methods: ProPlex Software and via a web browser. The ProPlex Software is available as a free PC download from www.tmb.com This software includes a full suite of configuration and monitoring features, and makes managing multiple nodes on a network extremely easy.
