Network Manager (SnakeSys)
MagicQ supports a Window for managing SnakeSys network products including the SnakeSys B4, SnakeSys R4, SnakeSys T2
and SnakeSys R8.
The Network Manager (Setup, View DMX I/O, Net Manager) can be used for monitoring and configuring SnakeSys products.
SnakeSys products can be configured in two different ways – in normal mode the product is configured from the front panel
switches and buttons on the SnakeSys product. In ChamNet mode the switches and buttons are ignored and the product is
configured from MagicQ.
27.1 Normal (non ChamNet mode)
If the SnakeSys product is set in a mode other than ChamNet Mode (such as Art-Net , ACN or buffer) then it is not possible to
configure the interface from Net Manager. However, the device will still appear in Net Manager and it is possible to view its
configuration.
27.2 ChamNet Mode (MQ Net)
In ChamNet mode each SnakeSys product on the network is considered to be a different interface with a different ID in the range
0 to 99. All interfaces should have different IDs.
The ID is set on the SnakeSys product using either the control panel or rotary switches.
The SnakeSys product can be configured using the CONFIG DEVICE soft button and selecting an appropriate profile.
