Ethernet Control 15

Set the DMX Start Address

Give each fixture a unique DMX starting address so that the correct fixture responds to the

control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to

“listen” to the digital control information sent out from the control source.

Example: The SolaPix 37 requires up to 186 channels of control depending on the

configuration of the modules. The Base module uses 21 channels. When the Flex

module is set to Compound mode, an additional 17 channels are added. If the Pixel

module is also set to Compound mode, then an additional 148 channels are added,

making 186 channels total.

If you are using the Base and Pixel modules (the Pixel module is set to Compound mode

and the Flex module is disabled) the total channel usage is 169 channels.

Set the Control Source and Universe

For Ethernet control, you must configure the control source (Art-Net or sACN) and set a universe

(000-255) for each fixture. See
