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

    It is not stupid...
    It is a lot of calculations a DP does (all fades, movements etc are calculated there), so with 16 universes thats a lot work. Thats also why the RHFB is limited to 12 onboard universes.
    Compared to other systems we are lucky, there you can only handle 4 or 8 universes per "node"

    In your setup you could also connect your ArtNet Box to the Fixturelink Port of the Roadhog Fullboar and run 12 Universes from there (lets say universes 1-12)
    As these would also be the limit of the internal virtual DP8000, then it would be subnet 0, universe 0-11 (if your Artnet Box is set to this)
    And the other 5 universes from the DP8000.

    Pretty big setup by the way with 17 universes....
