Control Panel Operation
The Net-X II is configured through the control panel, using the control knob. Once the Net-X II is properly
configured it operates without user intervention.
The Net-X II can be used as a DMX splitter, in which case the DMX In ports must be assigned to the DMX
output/input ports, but the Net, Subnet, and IP address settings may not need configuration.
The Net-X II can be used as an Art-Net™ node, in which case the Art-Net™ universes must be assigned to
the DMX output/input ports, and the Net, Subnet, and IP address settings must be configured.
The Net-X II can be used as an sACN node, in which case the sACN universes must be assigned to the
DMX output/input ports, and the IP address settings must be configured.
The Net-X II can be used as both a DMX splitter and either an Art-Net™ or sACN node simultaneously, in
which case both the DMX assignments and the Art-Net™ or sACN settings must be configured.
The Net-X II can be used to merge two DMX, Art-Net™, or sACN signals from different controllers and
output as one signal, using LTP (latest takes precedence) and HTP (highest takes precedence) functions.
The Net-X II has backup settings and configurations with same or other Net-X II products.
The Net-X II is Web server supported for remote configuration and backup/update.
The Net-X II's record function allows you to record looks from a controller and save them into memory.
These can be deployed via the Phoenix triggers.
