Default Gateway: 10.101.1.1

This addressing scheme should allow a Cobalt console to communicate with other ETC
equipment via Ethernet without requiring any changes to these settings. If more than one
Cobalt console of the same type are to be connected to the network, ensure that the default
addressing has been changed on consoles #2 and above.

Default IPs for all Cobalt family products

10.101.84.101 (Cobalt 20 console)
10.101.82.101 (Congo/Cobalt Light Server)

System Settings - Protocols

This is where you activate different output protocols.

Net3/ACN
Net3 is the equivalent of ACN. The system name that is exposed on Net3 is “Cobalt “ + the system
name.

There are two options:

ACN

This needs to be enabled if you have units with bi-directional communication, like for
example the Net3 I/O Gateway.
Priority: A Net3/ACN source can have a priority of 1-200. 200 is highest, and 1 is lowest.
This parameter decides the priority status of this system if there are multiple sources (for
example Cobalt and Unison). Sources with the same priority share on an HTP level. If there
are different priorities, the highest one will "win".

Streaming ACN

This is a broadcast protocol, like DMX over ethernet, designed to be simple. Check this
feature if you are using devices or nodes receiving streaming ACN. Priority is fetched from
the setting above. In Offline mode, Streaming ACN is sent on priority 1. Visualisation
software such as Capture require sACN tor CITP.
