Setting up Hog4PC with Ratpac AKS

Hi all, I’m trying to run one universe of sACN out of Hog4PC through a Ratpac AKS and I can’t seem to get the IP/DHCP configured correctly. I’m running the AKS through cat6 straight into my laptop and not through a widget or the Gadget II i got with the Nomad key. The universe (1) is patched to the Nomad key so i know those universes are authorized. Anyone know the necessary network settings?

It seems like there isn't a straightforward guide available online detailing the network settings necessary for configuring IP/DHCP when running sACN out of Hog4PC through a Ratpac AKS. However, I can provide you with some steps you might follow to troubleshoot or set up the network settings:

IP Configuration:
- Ensure that your laptop, Hog4PC, and Ratpac AKS are on the same IP subnet.
- You may want to assign static IP addresses to ensure consistent communication.
DHCP Settings:
- If your network relies on DHCP, ensure that your DHCP server is operational and correctly configured.
- The DHCP server should be able to provide necessary IP addresses and network configuration to all devices on the network¹.
Software and Firmware:
- Ensure that your Hog4PC and Ratpac AKS are running the latest software and firmware versions.
- You may also want to check for any specific firmware or software updates that address network connectivity issues².
Network Cabling:
- Ensure that the Cat6 cable and all network connections are secure and functioning correctly.
Universe Patching:
- Ensure that the universe is patched correctly to the Nomad key, as you mentioned it's authorized.
