eDMX Configuration can find and configure eDMX MAX hardware on different IP subnets from the computer network adapter.
There are some functions such as the Recorder that require both devices on the same IP subnet range e.g., Computer IP
192.168.0.100 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.254 when eDMX MAX is on default IP.
Upon startup eDMX nodes are automatically detected and displayed by IP address. To poll for new devices or just check the
communications is okay by clicking Search. Polling is automatic every 8 seconds but can be disabled through the Advanced | Auto
Device Poll menu option. Mute Responses option prevents any new nodes from being listed regardless of their status on the
network. With large node counts this can be helpful.
Click on the desired node’s entry and all Settings will be retrieved. Note that if no response is received the settings will be greyed
out and no additional tabs visible. An activity box shows both transmitted and received messages to help with diagnosing
communication issues. If your network configuration has multiple adapters and or IP addresses you should select the same
network range as the eDMX from the Network Adapter IP Address dropdown box and also ensure the subnet mask is appropriate.
Settings Broadcast is supported by eDMX MAX which allows node settings to be updated regardless of the network adapter subnet
range.
Unicast single node discovery and configuration is possible by selecting Advanced | Unicast Poll and entering the destination IPv4
address then click Search. This will function over routed networks provided a Default Gateway has been specified in the node
Network Settings.
