Page 25: Px785 Cooperation With The Grandma2 Console
PX785 cooperation with the grandMA2 console The PX785 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 26 The PX785 gate should be connected to the console via an Ethernet cable to the ETHERCON 2 (ETH1) connector with the IP address set so that the console is in the same network as the gate. If Gate 2 DMX RDM is on the 2.x.x.x network with the mask of 255.0.0.0, then for the device to work...

Upgrade In order to update the gate firmware, use the program DMX-Workshop, which is available on the Artistic Licence website: http://www.artisticlicence.com. Firmware updates are available on the manufacturer's website. 1. In the main menu field select the option Node List. 2. - Page 30 NOTE! When installing new software, problems may arise due to the Windows ® firewall settings. One of the solutions is to completely disable the system firewall for the time of uploading the new firmware version. The second is to add the DMX-Workshop program to the exceptions in the firewall giving all permissions without having to completely disable the firewall (screen below).
