USB drivers installation
Install USB drivers to communicate with the device and change settings.
Installation of USB drivers is required only for Windows at the end of
installation. Drivers for Mac and Linux systems are installed automatically.
USB drivers verification : In the Windows Device Manager. Check that the
device icon is visible in “USB Bus Controllers”.
If drivers are not installed, the Windows Device Manager lists a device with a
yellow warning.
On Mac OS, simply check the USB device tree to view “DMX 512 Stand Alone
Device”. On Linux, use the “lsusb” command to view “DMX 512 Stand Alone
Device” as a list. After control software installation and USB drivers
Connect the device with the USB cable. Start the DEVICETOOL and select “Open
USB Device” to change the settings. Start the software and menu “Tools”, then
“Options” to change the settings in the “Device”
page. All connected and detected devices are listed.
Multiple USB connections
7
Ethernet connection and configuration
Establish Ethernet communication with the device to change its settings in the
software options window or via the DEVICETOOL. It can be done in several ways:
Live, via an IP Switch or a Wifi router. The device is in DHCP mode by
default.
Initial steps required Connect the device to the LAN or computer via an RJ45
Ethernet cable. Power the device via USB cable (5V DC, 0.3A). Connect the
computer to the same network (LAN) or interface via an RJ45 Ethernet cable.
DHCP / IP Static
In DHCP mode, without responses from a DHCP server after a short time, the
interface will use static IP mode with its default IP address and wait for the
next DHCP request to use DHCP mode. It will therefore always be possible to
connect directly to the computer in static IP MODE.The device is in DHCP mode
by default.
DHCP connection
DHCP mode, allows you to communicate with devices through a DHCP server that
automatically assigns and manages the IP addresses of each device.The DHCP
server can be of Switch IP or Router type or other.
The device is in DHCP mode by default. It is detected by software
automatically when the computer is also connected in DHCP to the same network
or with a static IP address of the same range.
DHCP benefit is that the DHCP server automatically manages the IP addresses of
connected devices. So it is not necessary to know exactly the IP of your
device to connect to it.However, IPs are regularly modified and can make the
installation less reliable.
Setting up the DHCP connection After the required initial steps are completed.
If the device is in DHCP mode (default mode). Also configure the computer in
DHCP mode. Start the software or DEVICETOOL by selecting “Open Ethernet
Device”
8
Static IP connection
Static IP mode, allows you to communicate directly with an interface without
necessarily going through another device such as IP switch or router or access
point. It is also used on LANs without DHCP server.
Static IP mode also allows you to freeze a network configuration and provides
better stability to installations designed with multiple devices thanks to an
IP switch or routers.
The default static values of the device are: IP address: 192.168.0.5 Subnet
mask: 255.255.255.0
Setting up the Static IP connection After the required initial steps are
completed. If the device is in Static IP mode. Set the IP address of the
computer to an identical IP address range of type 192.168.0.x.With “x”
different than 5 to avoid identical IP conflicts on the network. Also set the
subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Start the software or application.
In an identical IP address range, the device will be recognized when software
starts.
Reset of the IP address
If there is a default IP address not found, use the USB connection and
software settings tools to check or change the device IP address.
Connecting to a wifi router
If the device’s RJ45 port allows a wired connection to a local network, it is
also possible to connect to it via WIFI via a WIFI router.
The illustration below is an example of a configuration using a third-party
mini WiFi router to allow a wireless connection.Other descriptions of these
routers can be “hotspot”, “hub”, “dongle”, “bridge”, “repeater”, etc.
Note: Connect multiple devices to the WiFi router or extend the available RJ45
ports with a Swich IP.
9
Implementation of the WIFI network:
Set up the WiFi router as a Hotspot to create a new access point. Or configure
the WiFi router as “Bridge” or repeater to join an existing network. It is
possible to configure the router in Static IP or DHCP. In DHP (default mode of
a router) IP addresses are dynamically assigned on the network by
the DHCP server. After configuring the router, connect the RJ45 ports and
configure the device in DHCP or
static IP mode. Once the device is connected to the router, it can be used and
visible on the network.
Standalone mode settings
In standalone mode of the control software,
configure the device according to the
available options then select and configure the triggers of scenes to be written in memory.
Device configuration
IN/OUT tab
Select a DMX input/Output configuration of the interface from the drop-down
menu
10
Available configurations will be displayed depending on the connected device
depending on whether it has 1.2 or 4 DMX lines.
A OUT – Assigns 1 output universe on the DMX line(s), for devices that have
more than 1 DMX lines duplicate the universe on each.
AB OUT – Assigns 1 different output universe on 2 DMX lines, for devices that
have 4 DMX lines duplicates the first 2 lines on the next 2 lines.
A OUT/B or D IN – Assigns 1 output universe on the first line(s) and uses the
last DMX line as DMX input.
ABC OUT – Assigns 1 different universe output on the first 3 DMX lines. ABCD
OUT – Assigns 1 different universe output on 4 DMX lines. AB OUT / D IN –
Assigns 1 different output universe on the first 2 lines and uses the last
DMX line as DMX input. ABC OUT / D IN – Assigns 1 different output universe on
the first 3 lines and uses the last
DMX line as DMX input.
“Merge DMX In / DMX Out” option Available with interfaces with more than 2 or
4 DMX lines. Enable the option to re-inject line configured as an input (IN)
to the line(s) configured in DMX outputs and thus merge them. The merged DMX
levels are compared and the highest is retained. We are talking about HTP
(Highest Takes Priority).
Maintain manual control on some circuits with an external DMX console. Create
a multi-zone system by merging several cascading interfaces to obtain only one
common DMX line.
11
Assign any universe of the software to any DMX line assigned to output,
choosing line by line (U1, U2…). Optimize the size of shows saved in memory by
reducing the number of circuits per universe depending on the channels used.
Example: If 150 channels are used in the show, select only the nearest higher
value, here 192. Art-Net/sACN universe range: Define the starting universe and
the finish universe to write in memory on an external SD card for an Art-
Net/sACN show. Cf: “Saving Art-Net or sACN to an external SD card”
Options tab
For devices with an LED display, turn it off after 4 seconds of inactivity by
checking the option. Select a default scene to play automatically after the
interface is turned on (with USB or external power supply). For multi-zones
devices it is possible to set a default scene for each area.
12
Note: The selected default start scene loses its priority if another scene
uses the “Restore if power off” option. Cf: “Advanced trigger options”
Configure the “Select Dimmer channels” option to select separately the Dimmer
or RGBW light intensity channels that will be controlled directly by Dimmer
mode, dry contacts or via the infrared remote control.
Scenes selection and configuration
Check to select the scenes to write in memory and assign triggers from those
available by your device.
13
Triggers selection
In the “Triggers” tab, select and assign different types of triggers.
Infrared Trigger For devices that do not have this trigger option an Infrared
kit is available containing an IR receiver and a remote control. Cf: “use of
the remote control by infrared” Select a scene from the list and assign it a
remote control button from the 15 available buttons.
Automatically assign buttons to all scenes in the list by clicking the
Infrared icon on the scene list toolbar.
Triggers via Wi-light 2 app and UDP commands When connected to a local network
with a WIFI access point, it is possible to trigger and control the interface
with the Wi-Light 2 app for Android and iOS when it runs in standalone
mode.This
14
local mode is also available on the internet with the Web Remote option. Each
device, interface and mobile, must be connected to the same access point in
DHCP (recommended) or fixed IP mode.The application will then detect the
interface and display the list of scenes and other possible controls and
commands. The Web Remote control option requires you to create a user account
and save your interfaces locally first. Please refer to the Wi-Light 2 manual
to use this mode. The Wi-Light 2 app uses an open protocol for developers with
standard communication based on simple UDP commands. Third-party software can
establish UDP communication with the software/interface and control it using
predefined JSON commands.Option only available with interfaces with an
Ethernet port.(see “Communication Development Kit User Manual”)
Advanced trigger options.
Restore after power off By checking this option in the “Triggers” tab, the
selected scene takes priority on the boot scene (see “Options tab”) when the
power supply is restored. If all scenes have the option checked, the last
active scene is replayed. Play in priority By checking this option in the
“Triggers” tab, the selected scene plays continuously until its end, without
taking into account other triggers, except for time triggers and physical
buttons on the device.
15
Save in memory option
Check scenes that need to be saved in memory.
Click on the “Write in Memory” button Select the desired option in the Scenes
Write window.
16
Basic backup
Write standalone configuration: Change only certain settings in the
configuration of a show already written in memory. Reduces backup time. Write
to Memory: Default backup in the internal memory of the device.
Save to an internal and external micro SD card
For devices with a micro SD port.
Save scenes to a micro SD card (Class 10) installed in the device’s SD card
reader or in the computer drive.The card must be CLASS 10, formatted in FAT or
FAT 32 with a maximum capacity of 256 GB.It is recommended to use the largest
allocation unit size available when formatting. Write to the SD card of the
device: SD card installed in the interface drive Write to an external SD card:
SD card connected to the computer Note: Save to the root directory of the SD
card.
Save Art-Net or sACN to an external SD card
For devices with a micro SD port and an Ethernet port.
Art-Net – Write to an external SD card: Save up to 8 universes only on micro
SD to render an ArtNet or sACN show independently. Set the universe range in
the IN/OUT config tab.Cf: Pre-commissioning verification: Connecting the RJ45
cable before power on. Connection to the local network.Cf: “Ether Ethernet
connection and configuration” Configuring the device in Art-net or sACN mode
via the software or DeviceTool. Note: Once in Art-Net (Ar) or sACN (AC) mode,
the interface is no longer visible on the local network. In Art-Net the
interface will use Broadcast to play the show on the network. In sACN the
interface will use the Multicast to play the show on the network.
17
Standalone use
Switch to standalone mode
The interface switches to standalone mode automatically after 5 seconds after
power on and if no software connection is made.
External and USB power supply
The external power supply is only used for “Autonomous” mode.But it is
possible to connect a USB cable and power supply at the same time, even if
this configuration is not recommended.If a USB cable is connected to the
interface when running in standalone mode, the device will detect a possible
connection to a computer but this will not affect the scenes that play.
How to use IR Remote
Infrared Remote triggers work in Stand Alone and in Live mode when “Get Stand
Alone Triggers” is checked in software option window, at the bottom of
“Device” section.

UDP, Broadcast, Unicast, Multicast
Art-Net and sACN are communication protocols based on the UDP/IP standard.
These 2 protocols integrate DMX frames into Ethernet frames allowing simpler
and more convenient wiring with the use of IP switches or WIFI terminals.
Several DMX lines can be encapsulated in an Ethernet frame and therefore
reduce wiring to 1 single Ethernet line for X DMX lines. Art-Net network data
is transmitted in broadcast or unicast mode. Unicast is preferable when using
multiple devices on the network and when managing more than 10 DMX universes.
sACN network data is transmitted in Unicast and Multicast.
