5 Steps Quick Start Guide

 

 

Step	(1)	Check your package parcel and you will find one E1.31 to DMX Interface, one DC5V power supply, one RJ45 male to male CAT5 cable and 4 RJ45 to DMX output connectors.
Step	(2)	Connect the CAT5 cable between your computer's RJ45 Jack (ethernet port) and the interface's input port.
Step	(3)	Connect your DMX fixtures to the interface's output port.
Step	(4)	Connect the DC5V power supply with the interface. At initial power up, the 'DMX' LED indicator will flash 2 flashes and the 'WEB' LED indicator will turn on.
Step	(5)	Open your software application and select  the E1.31 , sACN or ACN output type. And the E1.31 to DMX is ready for use. Now you can play with your software and enjoy the interface!

 

 

The as-shipped default value of the interface is as below and can be changed / configured via a web browser by the configuration commands.
Default IP:			192.168.1.206
Default output DMX universe No.:			RJ45 Jack 1 = Output DMX Universe 1
			RJ45 Jack 2 = Output DMX Universe 2
			RJ45 Jack 3 = Output DMX Universe 3
			RJ45 Jack 4 = Output DMX Universe 4
P.S.:	You can assign any universe number to any output RJ45 port via configuration web page, such as Universe 123 to RJ45 port 1, Universe 666 to RJ45 port 2, …

 

 

How to open the Configuration Web Page

 

If you have powered up the interface and have connected the interface directly to your computer's RJ45 Jack, and you need to open the configuration web page immediately, pls follow below steps: 

 

(1)	Push the RESET button to restart the interface, then push and hold the MODE button, after a few seconds, you will see both 'WEB' & 'DMX' LED indicators flash together at a rate of one flash per second.  After 3 flashes, release the MODE button!
(2)	After a few seconds, the 'DMX' LED indicator will flash 7 times and then the 'WEB' LED Indicator will turn on.
(3)	Then go to your web browser and type the interface's temporary IP 169.254.74.73  at address bar and click ENTER key, you will bring up the configuration web page.

 

 

Note:	Remember to click ENTER in your keyboard for each input as confirmation.
Note:	Remember to click SAVE ALL CHANGES before you close/leave the web page.

Note: In some cases after you enter the IP  169.254.74.73  at your browser's address bar and click ENTER, but the page fails to open. you just need to wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then refresh the page.
The configuration page will come out eventually after you refresh one or two times.
Sometimes you just need to be patient and wait a little while for the configuration page to load.
Note: The web page server doesn’t operate continuously because the E1.31 to DMX Interface Bridge is only capable of 4 simultaneous internet connections.
So, although the first 3 connections can be dedicated to receiving DMX dimmer data full-time, the last connection has to be shared between receiving E1.31 to DMX and running the web server.
You can connect the E1.31 to DMX Interface to a LAN router/switch or directly to a PC.
To access the web page via the E1.31 to DMX Interface's static IP, it is necessary to put your router/PC and the E1.31 to DMX Interface on the same SUBNET, GATEWAY and DNS of your network.
The default as-shipped IP configuration of the E1.31 to DMX Interface is as below.
STATIC IP:		192.168.001.206
SUBNET:		255.255.255.000
GATEWAY:		192.168.001.001
DNS:		192.168.001.001
The Interface works in Multicast Format, which means IP setting is not a must.
The unit's IP is only for Configuration web page opening via router/switch, but you can always open the Configuration web page by connecting the unit directly to your computer via temporary IP: 169.254.74.73
We always recommend you to configure the interface with the unit connecting to your computer directly.   Multicast Format   Multicast is a method to send data across a network where a sender, typically a PC, broadcasts the data to all devices connected to the network subnet. And the information about the channels are sent to all controllers connected to the network and every other device on the network. Multicast is a point to multipoint broadcast where the controllers need to listen to and only respond to information they are configured to use.  Your PC sequencing software or streaming tool sends multicast packets with an address of 239.255.<UHB>.<ULB> where UHB is the Universe high byte and LHB is the Universe low byte. As an example, the address for universe '1' would be 239.255.0.1. This is why using multicast addressing can be simpler to configure since this address is always the same for any device using that universe. With Multicast you must have a unique IP address for each controller/interface so that you can access its webpage that allows configuration. In Multicast system the data is received on multicast IP address not on the configuration IP address.
