4. CONFIGURATION UTILITY

The eDMX Configuration utility provides a simple interface to all device parameters. Typically, these are set once during initial

configuration and left untouched. If you are not confident in setting up network IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway

parameters please get in touch with DMXking.com support and we’ll walk you through the process. DHCP is supported from

firmware v2.14 onwards.

IMPORTANT: Once you’ve finished configuring your eDMX product close the configuration utility before starting your lighting

control application if it’s running from the same computer. In general, only 1 Art-Net application will function at a time.

NETWORK TAB

Before starting the eDMX Configuration utility please ensure your computer has appropriate IPv4 network settings, for example

IP 192.168.0.100 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.254.

Upon startup eDMX nodes are automatically detected and displayed by IP address. To poll for new devices or just check the

communications is okay by clicking Search. From v1.16 polling is automatic every 8 seconds but can be disabled through the

Advanced | Auto Device Poll menu option. Mute Responses option prevents any new nodes from being listed regardless of

their status on the network. With large node counts this can be helpful.

Click on the desired node’s entry and all Settings will be retrieved. Note that if no response is received the settings will be greyed

out and no additional tabs visible. An activity box shows both transmitted and received messages to help with diagnosing

communication issues. If your network configuration has multiple adapters and or IP addresses you should select the same

network range as the eDMX from the Network Adapter IP Address dropdown box and also ensure the subnet mask is

appropriate.

Utility v1.20 uses Settings Broadcast by default which allows node settings to be updated regardless of the network adapter

subnet range. This only works if all detected nodes are firmware v3.0+ and is automatically disabled otherwise.

Unicast single node discovery and configuration is possible by selecting Advanced | Unicast Poll and entering the destination

IPv4 address then click Search. This will function over routed networks provided a Default Gateway has been specified in the

node Network Settings.

All eDMX/LeDMX/ultraDMX PRO nodes provide IGMPv2 Reports necessary to participate in a multicast environment as

necessary for sACN/E1.31 protocol. Sometimes due to network infrastructure issues an IGMP querier is not present and in these

situations, you can opt to have the node generate ongoing unsolicited IGMPv2 Reports.

To change the node Network Settings make applicable changes then click Update Network Settings.

Selecting Firmware Update will prompt for an appropriate firmware file and upload upon confirmation. A built-in boot loader

permits updating of the eDMX firmware. We do not recommend performing firmware updates over routed networks. Note only

signed encrypted firmware files from DMXking.com can be successfully loaded to ensure you won’t brick your device by

accident. Future firmware releases for this product will be in the form 0118-500-VersionMajor.VersionMinor.enc

PORT TAB

Port Operation Mode: DMX-OUT

DMXking.com •JPK Systems Limited •New Zealand

0118-700-3.7

Port Operation Mode: DMX-IN sACN with sACN Priority 100

DMX512 ports can be individually configured as either DMX-OUT, with automatic dual sACN/Art-Net protocol support, or DMX-

IN, with manually selected sACN or Art-Net protocol. When configured as DMX-IN a single Unicast IP address destination may be

specified but in the majority of applications leaving this field at 0.0.0.0 is appropriate.

Timeout all sources can be used to override default ArtNet defined behavior of holding the last sent or received frame forever.

•DMX-OUT mode: Whenever 2 sources are present and being merged together a 2nd source will always timeout when

the stream stops. In DMX-OUT mode if Timeout all sources is unchecked and Hold Last mode selected the output will

hold last frame forever. Timeout all sources checked and Failsafe Mode other than Hold Last selected will cause the

output to change to Zero, Full or Snapshot Scene.

•DMX-IN mode: An ArtNet or sACN stream is generated upon receiving DMX512 on the port. Timeout all sources

checked will cause this stream to end a few seconds after the DMX512 signal stops.

Channel Offset provides simple re-mapping for both DMX-OUT and DMX-IN port configurations. Set to 0 for no re-mapping.

•DMX-OUT mode: Incoming ArtNet or sACN stream(s) are re-mapped so channel 1 is pushed up to channel 1+N. When

channel 1+N exceeds 512 the incoming stream channels are ignored/lost.

•DMX-IN mode: Incoming DMX512 is re-mapped so channel 1 is pushed up to channel 1+N on the outgoing ArtNet or

sACN stream. When incoming DMX512 channel 1+N exceeds 512 to channels are ignored/lost.

Make changes to the applicable Port settings then click Update. Changes on all port tabs are updated regardless of which tab the

Update button is clicked.

RECORDER TAB

Please refer to the eDMX PRO Recorder manual for more information. This functionality is common to all eDMX PRO, LeDMX

PRO and ultraDMX2 PRO devices.

DMX DISPLAY FUNCTION

Select View | DMX Display for a simple DMX512 test utility. To generate an Art-Net output stream click Transmit then select one

of the 6 Transmit Options and change Art-Net Universe as applicable. When in Manual mode you can click on any of the

channels (represented by small boxes with hexadecimal channel level inside) to set ON level and double click to set zero. The

mouse scroll wheel adjusts a channel by a defined increment. Channel number increases left to right, top to bottom and the

roaming tool tip provides information about a specific channel.

Both the ON level and mouse wheel step can be set by right clicking anywhere within the black display area. Number of channels

transmitted and the refresh rate can be adjusted using the applicable sliders adjacent to transmit options.
