▪ KiNET Compatible with multiple synchronous and asynchronous pixel output protocols as well as custom voltage timing. Allows creation of custom pixel protocols. (Criteria apply, see ‘OCTO MK2 Custom Protocol Creation Guide’ document) DHCP or Static IP address supported.
Out of the Box The OCTO MK2 will be set to a DHCP IP address as default. If the DHCP server is slow to respond, or your network does not have a DHCP server, the OCTO MK2 will fall back to 192.168.0.10 as default. By default, the OCTO MK2 will convert 4 universes of Art-Net to the WS2812B protocol on each of the OCTO MK2’s Phoenix...
Note: The eDMX protocols, the controller and the device used to configure the OCTO MK2 must be on the same Local Area Network (LAN) and be within the same IP address range as the OCTO MK2. For example, if your OCTO MK2 is on Static IP address 192.168.0.10 (Default), then your computer should be set to something such as 192.168.0.20.

▪ Example: When Group Pixels is set to 10 on an OCTO MK2 connected to a length of RGB pixel strip, by patching a single RGB pixel within your control software and sending the values to the OCTO MK2, the first 10 LED pixels would respond to it.
Increments of 8 for RGBW-16 bits (i.e., 1, 9, 17, 25) Save Settings: All changes must be saved to take effect. The OCTO MK2 takes up-to 10 seconds to save. Reset to Defaults: This button allows the OCTO MK2 reset back to factory default via web interface. Please refer to the ‘Reset to Factory Defaults’...
OCTO MK2 will resume operation. Reset to Factory Defaults The OCTO MK2 can be reset by either the web interface or the reset button on the device. Factory resetting the OCTO MK2 results in the followings: Resets the device name to OCTO ...
Resetting via Web Interface The ‘Reset to Defaults’ command can be found under the Settings tab of the OCTO MK2’s local hosted web interface. Once the command is pressed, a pop-up would appear as shown in the image below: Resetting by Reset Button The reset button on the device restores the network configuration of the OCTO MK2 to factory defaults.
