mapping saved with the above option.
Accessing Network Drives
Once a network drive is mapped, it will appear in the Start and Backup windows under the
console heading as a valid drive to browse to. Sub folders of the primary networked drive will
also be available.
Disconnecting Network Drives
When browsing a network drive, the Eject button is available in the top right corner of the
browse window. Pressing this button will un-map and disconnect the network drive.
3.4 Art-Net and E1.31 (sACN)
Art-Net and E1.31 (also known as streaming ACN) are two communication protocols
supported by the Hog 4 OS that allow for DMX512 data to be sent over Ethernet. While each
protocol is unique in terms of specification and implementation, they both provide the ability
to carry many DMX universes over a single cat 5 Ethernet cable. This section of the manual
will help you to understand how to properly configure your console or Hog 4 PC to output Art-
Net and E1.31.
