address.

03) Set the Subnet mask on all devices.

04) Make sure that all fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.

sACN (streaming Architecture for Control Networks), also known as ANSI E1.31, is a protocol for sending

DMX-512 data over IP networks developed by ESTA (Entertainment Services and Technology Association).

It supports up to 63999 universes and uses multicasting.

How to Make a Data Cable

A standard Ethernet cable can be used to replace the data cable required to transmit the data.

Please follow the instructions below in order to create an extra network cable.

Take a standard network cable (CAT-5/CAT-E/CAT-6) and connect it to an RJ45 connector, as shown on

Fig. 05. The wires should now be colored as follows:
