Hog 4 and DP8000 networking

What do you mean by “dp800’s keep making their own server”? You need to connect all hognet ports together on a switch, and all fixture nets on a different switch. Each dp8000 gives you 16 universes. Hog system gives universes not parameters. Iam assuming your are using sACN or artnet in this case

Hey mate, that's correct apologies for the confusion. All hognet ports are connected together through an unmanaged switch, with another switch dealing with fixture net out of the primary console. Yes outputting sACN for fixture control. I've attached a photo below of the network window to see if it helps my post make sense with the two DP8000s being in a different server ID to the consoles. 

You need to connect all fixture net's to the network switch. If you use 2 dp8000's you will need to connect both fixture net's of the dp8000's to a network switch. Only connecting the fixture net of the main desk will not work.

So you need to connect de HOG net ports together on a switch and the fixture net ports on a switch of each dp8000.
