Beginner network issues

Hello,

recently purchased a HOG4. Our building was originally set up on a ETC network (i believe Net2). I am trying to get the new hog 4 to communicate over the ETC network to our existing fixtures. Is there a place to add the IP address for our network switches and dimmer racks inside the hog 4 console?….also am I missing any other steps?

Thanks for your help in advance.

It all depends on what protocol the system is using as the ethernet path…

If it's setup of ETC Net3…then you'll have to use gateways to get DMX out of the console and into the system.

If it's setup using sACN, then you can use the Fixture Net port and configure the Hog to spit out sACN in the appropriate places…

If it's setup using Artnet, then you can use the Fixture Net port and configure the Hog to spit out Artnet in the appropriate places.
