Axon with Hog 4

Hi guys,
Before the Hog4 series came out, I was using the RHFB3 with Axon using artnet and it was working flawlessly.
Recently, I tried linking a RH4 with Axon using Artnet and it did not work.
After I added a Wireless router to the network it worked.
It seem that only the router was capable of DHCP.
Can someone explain this? was it the case that the old RHFB was able to be DHCP server on fixturenet but not the RH4?
I had enabled the DHCP server on the Hognet tab.

    Hi Ming,

    Both the RHFB3 and the RH4, should operate similarly in regards to setting up the Art-Net outputs on either console's Fixture-Net Port.

    On the Fixture-net port, you are not able to enable a DHCP Server to send out IP Addresses. Fixture-Net can only Obtain an IP Address from a DHCP Server.

    Enabling a DHCP Server can only be done with Hog-Net, communicating to other Hogs or DP8Ks. This would it explain why it worked after you introduced the router on to the Fixture-Net as it would hand out IP Addresses to the deceives connected to it.

    Hope this helps,
