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

    Having never used Arkaos, but having understanding of media servers, this is how I understand your setup would work (Experts please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm explaining it VERY high level since I want to make sure your understanding of the setup is the same as what the users are suggesting to you.

    -Patch the lights in Arkaos. Arkaos will be the device spitting out the 'DMX' or Art-net to the lights. Most likely patched via IP addresses. I don't believe these Chauvet lights would let you daisy chain the Ethernet, most likely need ethernet switches and home run to each light.
    -The videos will also be loaded into Arkoas.
    -In Hog PC patch Arkoas as a fixture(s). Might be multiple 'fixtures', depending on the profile and how many 'layers' you are using. I imagine Hog and Arkoas are connected via Artnet as well? Perhaps Arkoas also has Dmx in, don't know for certain.
    -You will control ARkoas video playback from Hog. Arkoas drives the lights.
    You would not be using the pixel mapping from HogPC
