Hi Everyone,
I have been in this space only recently and have very basic knowledge of networking — so far I have always worked with direct DMX signal. Today I am facing a troubleshooting situation at a venue, so let me try to explain:
The venue team is unfortunately not here for the setup, so they passed me the following information:
Showtec Net 2/3 Pocket (3-Pin)
ArtNet mode
• Subnet: 255.255.0.0
• Uni 1 & 2 → 2.0.0.101
• Uni 3 & 4 → 2.0.0.102
• Uni 5 & 6 → 2.0.0.103
All node positions also have network switches with free slots.
When I connected via Ethernet cable to my MacBook, it first registered a randomly generated IP address, so I changed it manually as shown in the pictures:
• IPv4: Manual
• IP: 2.0.0.102
• Subnet: 255.255.0.0
• Router: (left empty)
Below you can also see what I have in the console.
Unfortunately, I still cannot get it to work. The venue normally uses grandMA2 and they said it always works with these parameters — so I must be missing something.
Is there anything I should double-check or any additional setting to look at on my MacBook?
P.S. In the ETC console shell, I left only ArtNet checked.
