Eos Configuration Utility 417
Limited Broadcast - The limited broadcast address is 255.255.255.255. It is limited
because routers will never forward datagrams with that destination address. This means
that datagrams with the limited broadcast address are confined to the particular network
segment on which they originate.
WiFi Remote
Select to allow WiFi RFRs, like the iRFR or aRFR, to connect to Element.
UDP and OSC Strings
Clicking in the enable box will allow the selected port to send UDP and OSC strings.
OSC
Select the OSC TCP mode. By default, OSC 1.0 is selected.
Note: Check the documentation for the OSC device you wish to use over a TCP
connection to see which mode it supports.
OSC 1.0 (packet-length headers)
OSC 1.1 (SLIP)
DHCP Service
Note: All settings in this section require a reboot of the desk before they will take
effect.
If this section is grayed out, or you are unable to change any settings, you don’t have Net3
Services installed on your desk. Net3 Services are installed by the installer for ETC's Gateway
Configuration Editor (GCE) software. GCE is available for download from the ETCwebsite.
Element can provide a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) address server. DHCP is a
TCP/IP protocol that dynamically assigns an IP address to a network device when it requests
one.
This is a small and simple DHCP server that is intended to be used on non-routed networks. It
will not serve IP addresses across a router.
CAUTION: There should only be a single DHCP server active on a network. It is
possible to start more than one DHCP server on a single network (nothing is built-in to
DHCP servers to prevent this from happening). If this occurs, it will result in unstable
conditions and possibly result in network communications failures.
Clicking in the enable box will start the DHCP server in the Element desk. It will use the settings
below to determine which IP addresses it gives out.
First IP Address- This sets the starting IP address of the range of IP addresses the DHCP
server will give out.
Number of Addresses - This sets how many IP addresses the DHCP server will give out. A
setting of 500 means it will give out IP addresses to the first 500 devices that ask for an IP
address.
Subnet Mask - This sets the logical network size vs. the device address. ETC’s default is
255.255.000.000 (class B). This is the subnet mask that the DHCP server will give to
network devices.
