dmxc3 and art net node connection issues.

Hello All,

I am having difficulty connecting an artnet to to work with DMXC3. For some reason I cannot get it to work in v3 but can kind of get it to work in v2.

I honestly have no idea of why this node will not be controlled thru the art net devices in DMXC3 device settings.

Can someone please explain in detail of what I should be doing?

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers,

I WILL POST ALL SCREENSHOTS WHEN I GET BACK HOME.
LET ME GIVE YOU ALL THE INFO I CAN OFF THE TOP OF MY MEMORY.

THE DONGLE I PURCHASED IS A STANDARD ARTNET DMX NODE PURCHASED FROM TIPTOP STAGE LIGHTING. IT IS CALLED DMX200

YOU CAN SEE IT HERE: DMX200 ARTNET NODE.

THIS IS A 2 UNIVERSE NODE WITH ITS OWN CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE.

CURRENTLY THE NODE IS CONFIGURED WITH :
IP ADRESS OF 2.0.0.20,
SUBNET MASK:255.0.0.0 ,
GATEWAY: 2.0.0.254 (IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY)
MODE: NODE (CAN ALSO BE SET TO SERVER)
SUBNET: 0
UNIVERSE 1 SET TO '0'
UNIVESE 2 SET TO '1'

THE ONLY WAY I AM ABLE TO GET IT TO WORK IN DMXC2 IS BY SETTING THE BROADCAST ADDRESS TO: '255.255.255.255' (WHICH IS STATED YOU SHOULD NOT USE BY ARTNET STANDARDS) AND KEEPING THE SUB NET AND OUTPUT UNIVERSE SET TO '0'. I CANNOT USE BOTH UNIVERSE AT THE SAME TIME. (UNLESS YOU CVAN ALSO DESCRIBE THIS AS WELL).yOU WILL SEE THE DMX 1 LIGHTS UP ON THE DEVICE. (SETTING TO UNIVERSE '1' WILL MAKE THE DMX 2 LIGHT.

I AM NOT ABLE TO CONFIGURE DMXC3 AT ALL TO EVEN OUTPUT ANY CONTROLS.

ARTNETOMATOR RECOGNIZES THE DEVICE BUT DOESNT REALLY SEE ANY ACTIVITY FROM IT (NOT SURE IF I AM USING IT CORRECTLY).....

MADRIX RECOGNIZES THE DEVICE AND BOTH UNIVERSES, AND CAN OUTPUT FINE TO THEM.

I UNDERSTAND THAT DMXC3 CAN ONLY OUTPUT AND RECIEVE ON A COMBINED TOTAL OF UP TO 4 ART NET UNIVERSES RIGHT NOW, BUT I JUST CAN'T FIND THE PROPER CONFIGURATION.

LIKE I SAID I WILL POST SCREENSHOTS WHEN I GET BACK HOME TONIGHT

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE!
