SUPER NODE™ USER MANUAL

Series 400

In the Series 400 configuration, an Art-Net compatible control console may be connected to one or more Super
Nodes.

Guidelines:

+

When connecting an Art-Net compatible console and multiple Super Nodes, a 100Mb Ethernet switch or hub

must

be used. Standard CAT5e Ethernet cables should be used in this configuration. Refer to the illustration

below.

+

The Series 400 Mode of operation should be used in this configuration. Refer to

"Series 400 Mode"

on page 17.

+

When using a Node as an Art-Net-to-DMX device, note that the Art-Net/sACN output does not pass data; it only
mirrors the DMX outputs. It is not possible to place the Art-Net/sACN output on the same network as the Art-Net
input.
