Logical Network - Each server in a multiple server system requires a logical network of it's own.
There are ten networks, 0-9. In each of these networks you can set a name, and the EDMX, sACN and
Artnet mapping. Each system on a network, consisting of a server, backup and/or clients must share
the same logical network setting. This setting allows the various consoles to commumicate with each
other without interfering with other systems on the network. See
Universe Map tab
Enable Output in Offline Mode - Enable output for when running Offline, for example when using a
live visualisation program to pre-program.
Note: Offline output will have a slower update rate than normal output.
Network - Interface Protocols
• ACN - This needs to be enabled if you have units with bi-directional communication, like for
example the Net3 I/O Gateway. This also includes Net3 DMX/RDM Gateways because the
RDM communication is passed via ACN to the console.
• Dimstat Feedback - Activate Dimstat feedback.
Network - DCHP Service
Net3 Services uses a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) address server. DHCP is a
TCP/IP protocol that dynamically assigns an IP address to a network device when it requests one. This
is a small and simple DHCP server that is intended to be used on non-routed networks. It will not
serve IP addresses across a router.
CAUTION: There should only be a single DHCP server active on a network. It is possible to start
more than one DHCP server on a single network (nothing is built-in to DHCP servers to prevent this
