RHFB on corporate network

I have looked but can't seem to find anything like this on the forums.

Is there a way to put a Hog (any Hog, but I happen to have a RHFB) on a corporate network without it broadcasting DHCP and basically shutting down an entire network? I don't have it on one right now but it would make certain things easier for me if I could. I have tried turning off the DHCP and Boot server button but it still manages to broadcast. I have given the Hog a static IP when on that network so that my laptop can see it easier. I would like to set it up on the network in order remote the desk from my office and not have to run to the booth every time someone needs me to run a demo.

Just wondering. Any ideas are helpful.

Thanks,
Eric

    Ok, thanks. These are some things I just wanted to try. I have a lot going on Sunday mornings and it would just be nice to keep track of it across our network.


    So perhaps I was being a bit dense, but I only just now looked at your username. The BBC seems to be writ-large across the history of UK entertainment technology. It seems like ever time I run into a UK-er, they have some connection to the BBC.

    What you're trying to do is a common setup. You have multiple independent shows going on. Run each show on a different port Number (in the settings available before you launch a show). Then, by changing the port number, you can join any show and have a look at what's going on.

    As for WYG, you could use the visualizer connectivity feature, although I'd agree with others that doing that for a live show may not be the best idea. Also, look at the Hog's E1.31/sACN and/or Art-Net outputs. Most visualizers should be able to accept these. Just be *very* careful about putting these on a larger corporate network. Most IT types don't understand entertainment protocols.
