Status:
Network: (Link Down in this case, when there is network, it shows the network type, 1G FD (1 gigabit, full
duplex) for example and it shows the network usage in percent);
Device and version description: (ProPlex IQ Two 1616 v:0.28 in this case)

Port information:
Information of all 16 DMX ports, labeled as A; B; C...
If using the Art-Net protocol, the universes start from universe 0.
In case you are using sACN, there is no universe 0 so universe numbering will start from universe 1.
LED Indicators
The ProPlex IQ 1616 has RGBW activity LEDs at each output port.
Explanation of each color:
•DMX activity LED is RED: There is no DMX signal from network incoming.
•DMX activity LED is ORANGE (full power): The port is configured as DMX output and DMX signal is
active.
•DMX activity LED is ORANGE (dim): The port is configured as DMX output and there is no active
DMX signal.
•DMX activity LED is BLUE (full power): The port is configured as DMX input and DMX signal is
active.
•DMX activity LED is BLUE (dim): The port is configured as DMX input and there is no active DMX
signal.
•DMX activity LED is GREEN (intermittent): The port has active RDM packets.
Merging
What happens with more than one source of DMX, Art-Net or Streaming ACN?
The IQ series of nodes can merge multiple instance of the same universe number coming from multiple
sources.
The IQ Two 1616 will automatically merge HTP, any universes coming from multiple sources that have the
same priority. Art-Net sources, by default have the same priority so they will be merged HTP unless Easy
Priority is set to ON. Streaming ACN has priority built into the protocol by default. If the priority of two or more
sources is the same, HTP merging will occur unless Easy Priority is set to ON. DMX inputs have a “Port
Priority” setting which can assign priority to DMX ports in INPUT mode. If two or more ports have the same
INPUT priority, HTP merging will occur.
