Page 18: Px724 Cooperation With The Grandma2 Console
PX724 cooperation with the grandMA2 console The PX724 gate can work with the grandMA2 console, however, support for devices supporting the RDM protocol requires changing the console settings. To operate RDM devices, the settings must be changed in the gate [Auto discovery] on enabled, the gate will continuously search for RDM devices. - Page 19 [ETHERCON 2 (ETH1)] connector with the IP address set so that the console is in the same network as the gate. If Gate 4 DMX RDM is on the 2.x.x.x network with the mask of 255.0.0.0, then for the device to work together, the console must be on the same network.
- Page 20 If everything is correctly configured, the gate continuously searches for the devices supporting the RDM protocol, the console is in the same network as the gate and has enabled RDM and Art-Net Output Active support. After adding the main RDM window to the main scree, you should see a list of all devices that supported the RDM protocol:...
