This guide walks you through the first-time setup of your DMXnetART converter.
- DMXnetART converter (v1.2)
- Power cable or terminal block (depending on version)
- Any included mounting hardware or labels
The converter accepts 5–24 VDC.
- Use a suitable DC supply within this range.
- Observe polarity on the power connector.
- On power-up, the status LED should indicate power and boot.
On first boot, the device either:
- Creates its own configuration AP, or
- Connects to a previously configured Wi‑Fi network.
Check the firmware documentation for:
- Default SSID / password (if using AP mode)
- How to enter station mode and set your network credentials
Once connected, note the device’s IP address (via your router, serial output, or OLED/LED indication, depending on your design).
Using the configuration interface (web UI, serial, or config file):
- Set Art‑Net node name (e.g.
DMXnetART-01). - Choose number of universes (1–3).
- Assign subnet and universe IDs to match your lighting software.
- Save and reboot if required.
- Connect a standard DMX cable from the converter’s DMX OUT to your first fixture.
- Daisy-chain fixtures as usual.
- Add a DMX terminator at the end of the line if needed.
In your lighting control software:
- Enable Art‑Net output.
- Set the correct subnet and universe.
- Point Art‑Net output to the converter’s IP (or let it auto-discover).
- Patch fixtures and test channels.
You should now see DMX values on your fixtures controlled via Art‑Net over Wi‑Fi.
