Connecting Artistic Licence ArtNet box to Full Boar

Hi,

I think I am being a bit stupid but I am having real trouble connecting my Artistic Licence ArtNet box to the Hog. I have used this bo in the past using a Vista T2 and had no worries so I understand how the general concept works etc.

The box is connected to the hog using a cat5 cable. The hog is 'seeing' the box when I press 'set up' and 'network' and so will let me say that output 1 is subnet 1 universe 1 etc etc (I need to us 9 of the 12 availalbe outputs on the artnet box).

When I patch a fixture and want to assign the fixture to a specific universe/port on the artnet box, I am not given the option to path it there. Instead I simply get the usual DP1 option to hard patch to the desk.

any help on this please? Or is someone can write an idiots guide to patching fixtures to artnet universes for me then that would be good!

Cheers

    Hey,

    the Art-Net/Fixturelink Outputs of the RHFB are configured in the interal DP8000 Settings
    So you also have to patch your fixtures to universes of that DP
    Then you go to:

    * Setup -> Network, select your internal DP8000, press Settings
    * Fixture-Link, adjust your IP-Settings for the Fixture-Link Port of the RHFB (with Artistic-Licence you should use 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x range)
    * Select Artnet-Outputs, there you see the universes of the internal DP8000, with the + and - buttons you can select of this universe should be active or not. Then adjust your subnet and universe, if necessary you can turn off broadcast and enter the IP-Adress of your ArtNet Box to have only a unicast to that specific device allowed. In most setups you can leave broadcast checked.

    For Example if universe 8 of the DP8000 should be on subnet 1 universe 4:

    press the + for universe 8 (if not already active)
    adjust subnet to 1 and universe to 4

    thats it...
