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

  • Hi,
    When it's cheaper to buy another computer + custom s/w
    than to use the branded hardware it might be time to assess the pricing and setup of Hog PC /DP8000.

    Seems odd that someone requiring so few additional artnet universes has to spend so much.
    It's taken 15 years to get 04 x universes of artnet (when you buy a widget) I suppose another 15 years to get 08 universes?
    The discussion will roll on and on.
    The user is only trying to patch 08 fixtures so HE can either hope users spend more or realise users may go elsewhere where you can get 64 universes for free.
    Tricky times.
