Setting up an Ethernet Fixture Link

DL.3 fixtures utilize an Ethernet network to synchronize playback and access the CMA software
for remote content management and fixture configuration. If you are using a DMX console and
other automated lighting products compatible with Art-Net, this network can also serve as the
link for DMX control.
