Chapter 5: Getting started – the on-line version
This chapter will explain how you can establish communication between the Dimmer Manager
PC, a NETPORT XT and ADB dimmers.
IP settings
Off-line operation does not require particular IP settings. You can view *.dim files (such as the
sample file), edit them, create virtual systems,… without worrying about TCP/IP.
Once you go OnLine with dimmers, two numbering schemes are critical:
• the IP settings of the Dimmer Manager PC and other Ethernet nodes such as NETPORT XT
• the Network Addresses on the ADN network (EIA-485)
You will have to plan the IP addresses for all the TCP/IP devices connected to your Ethernet-for-
lighting network.
This is a simple task for a "Dimmer Manager only" Ethernet network: the devices include the
Dimmer Manager PC and one or several NETPORT XT (used as Ethernet/ADN converter).
A broader "lighting" network may additionally include lighting consoles using Ethernet (ADB’s
PHOENIX range,…), and Ethernet/DMX converters such as NETPORT and NETPORT XT.
If you’re not familiar with TCP/IP configuration, please ask a knowledgeable IT person. Also ask
him/her for advice if you would like to use the Dimmer Manager PC for other applications requiring
TCP/IP (e.g. a portable PC also used for Internet access).
Required IP settings for the PC
Please provide the following information to your friendly IT person:
• the Ethernet-for-lighting network should be independent of other Ethernet networks; any
connection to other networks should be evaluated with extreme care
• NETPORT XT uses 10BaseT and TCP/IP
• general requirements for the PC: see Hardware requirements
• the Dimmer Manager PC must be set to a fixed IP address
• that fixed IP address must be 2.x.y.z where x.y.z is to be selected by you
• subnet mask 255.0.0.0
• each NETPORT XT has a fixed IP address 2.a.b.c; it is printed on the back
• direct connection between the PC and a NETPORT XT, with a cross-link cable, usually
works
Note: other equipment using class A IP addresses (2.a.b.c) includes Art-Net products in general;
lighting consoles such as ADB PHOENIX and MENTOR; ArtDMX-to-DMX converters such
ADB NETPORT; visualisers …
