Ion and the Art-Net

Hello all

well this is my first post so please be kind.

I have just joined a venue and they have an Ion (now running on 2.8) there is only one dmx patch so there last tech had purchased a N8 Art-Net node. the theory being that they could offer more universes at little cost.

The node arrived... iv have not had to set up a node before, so i found some helpful hints online plus read the user guide from cover to cover to get a better idea. I sat infant of the desk today and had little to no joy.

Im in the "shell " and navigating that with no problem. The desk is set to

  • obtaining an ip address automatically
  • ip 169.254.1xx.17
  • sub 255.255.0.0
  • artnet selected
  • and set to direct broadcast

iv set the N8 to 

  • ip169.254.1xx.18
  • sub 255.255.000.000 

but nothing is working can anyone help?

many thanks in advance.
