SnakeSys Firmware Release Notes (B4, R4, T2)
76.1 Version V215
76.1.1 SnakeSys B4
Added the ability to clear unit settings on unit boot up by the user first setting all DIP switches to OFF position and also setting
both address switches to F then powering up the unit. Unit will toggle both the NET and MQ LED’s if the settings were not
already set as default and the default settings were restored. Unit will flash both the NET and MQ LED’s together if the settings
are already set as default and flash erase is not required. In any-case the unit will have default settings after the operation, this
firmware change invalidates the usage of ChamNet address FF and users should not use the address from now on.
The main purpose of this firmware change is to allow the Subnet Mask and IP Address to be restored to factory values, although
in this case the port configuration set in the NetManager is also cleared.
76.1.2 Other products
No changes in this version.
76.2 Version V214
76.2.1 All Products (Changes to DMX output hold policy)
The output and input standard LED timeout has been increased to 5 seconds. When a DMX output LED has turned from ON
to OFF to indicate that network data is not anymore being received the unit will now continue to repeat the last received DMX
packet on the respective output regardless of the network DMX protocol used, whereas the original policy was to only hold if
Art-Net was used.
76.3 Version V213
76.3.1 All Products (Improve Policy For Save Of Settings)
Reduced the required time that the user needed to wait for units to save their Net-Manager DMX port settings to flash memory
from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.
Network IP and Subnet-Mask settings that are adjusted from the Net-Manager are now saved to flash memory immediately.
Synchronisation settings were not previously saved, they are now saved immediately to flash after adjustment via the Net-
Manager.
Fixed a bug which caused a longer delay than expected before settings were written to flash memory.
