Artnet on Nanohog

Hi,
We have purchased some lighting fixtures (Chavuet Epix Bars and the Chavuet Epix drive 642) and have no idea on how to get them to work with the road hog. these fixtures are not in the fixture schedule and i am not sure if they need to be, but we have been trying to wire them up using a Ethernet cable running from the computer to the epix drive, where the fixtures are connected. i have watched the Hog4 tutorial on the youtube channel and we have tried to do the same thing, but each time we change the IP address, it goes back to the default and will not keep what we change after applying it and exiting out. What is going on and how can we get these fixtures to work with the NanoHog4. we are using Hog4pc with the Nanohog, and need help with art net. the fixtures only have inputs for ethernet cables and don't have dmx inputs. Can someone guide us in the right direction on what to do to get these working. we need them up and running by Easter 2016. THANKS

    I was able to get these to work today. It looks like we have 6 empty universe. I was able to connect these through DCPH network, and had full control of the 1st epix bar. Plot view and pixel mapping works for the 1st one, just they way it is supposed to. but when i connected the 2nd bar, every pixel on both of the bars flashes. I currently have both fixtures set to the same ip address and the subnet channel but have changed the universe setting for the 2nd fixture. I used dmx test and both the fixtures come on but they continuously flash. Any idea why. I can get the first fixture to work properly and the 2nd fixture to work properly, but when i try and control them both at the same time, they both flash. I tried changing the ip address for the second fixture and it stops the first from flashing and vice versa. What can i do to fix this?
