The ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 has a switchable DMX-INPUT/DMX-OUTPUT 

with a 3 pin XLR connectorn. A standard RJ45 connector is used to connect to the 

ArtNet network 

A user-friendly configuration via web browser allows a fast and uncomplicated 

adjustment for all parameters. 

An additional extension-mode allows an output of 1024 DMX-channels on the DMXoutput. 

This Extension-mode is optimised for controlling the MagiarLED products.

Configuration 

The configuration of the ArtNet-DMX-STAGE-PROFI 1.1 occurs about an webinterface 

which can be called about any web browser. 

The assigned IP-address 2.0.0.10 in the delivery status will be used for the webinterface 

as well as for the ArtNet. 

The network settings of the PC must be 

configured to the IP-address 2.0.0.1 and 

the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. 

Please consult the ArtNet-specifications for 

further details.


Please call the IP 2.0.0.10 in the address bar of the web browser for getting the 

following configuration page: 

Each node needs an own IP-address, so the assignment in the network 

occurs clearly. According to the ArtNet-specifications please use the IPaddresses 

2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x. 

Ather IP addresses are also possible, for example 192.168.1.10. Then the 

Netmask must be changed to 255.255.255.0 ! 

For an easier identification you can assign each node with any names. 

The Short-name is limited to 18 signs and the Long-name to 64 signs.


The Netmask is left to 255.0.0.0 according to the ArtNet-specifications. 

The Interface mode can be configured as DMX-INPUT or DMX-OUTPUT. 

The Factory settings will be rebuilt by entering the number 7319. 

SAVE stores the configuration respectively rebuilt the Factory settings. 

DMX-Input 

For using the ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 as a DMX-INPUT interface please 

select the interface mode Set the interface to Input Mode. 

Please use a 1:1 MALE-MALE adapter for the connection which is separately 

available. 

Use Broadcast: DMX data is sent ro all ArtNet devices 

Use Unicast: DMX data is sent to one ArtNet device witch has the Unicast IP. 

In an event of a DMX-signal failure (DMX FAIL) several actions can be selected for 

the DMX-input: 

NO DATA 

- with ArtNet no DMX-input will be received 

HOLD last DMX data 

- the last data will hold 

CLEAR all DMX channels to 0% - all DMX channels will be set on 0 

SET all DMX channels to 100% - all DMX channels will be set on 255 

The Update-rate with whom the DMX-input data are outputted can be adjusted in 

different times. 

On change data transfers the DMX data only if it change, however max. every 0,1 

seconds. 

DMX Framerate transfers the DMX data when a DMX frame is complete received. In 

this case the Update-rate is equal to the DMX framerate. 

DMX-Output 

For using the ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 as a DMX-OUTPUT interface please 

select the interface mode Set the interface to Output Mode.


Extension Mode 

The ArtNet-DMX-UNIVERSE 1.1 interface has an extension mode. Then the DMXoutput 

is set to 1024 DMX-channels. 2 ports (each 512 DMX-channels) will be spent 

on the DMX-output consecutively. Therefore all in all 1024 channels are possible. 

For activating the extension mode, please use a web browser. 

In the extension mode an additional ArtNet port will be activated which has also 

512channels. 

The DMX Routing in the configuration specifies for the DMX-output how the data of 

the ports are linked together. 

The entered value specifies how many DMX-channels from the first port should be 

spent. After that the DMX-channels of the second port will be attached. 

Example: DMX-Routing = 512 

Channel Kanal 1 1 Channel Kanal 512 Channel Kanal 513 513 Channel Kanal 1024 

Port Port 11 (512 Channels) Kanäle) 

Port Port 2 2 (512 (512 Channels) Kanäle) 

Example: DMX-Routing = 450 

Channel Kanal 11 Channel Kanal 450 450 Kanal Channel 451 451 Channel Kanal 962 962 Channel Kanal 1024 

Port Port 1 (450 1 (450 Channels) Kanäle) 

Port Port 2 (512 2 (512 Channels) Kanäle) 

Channels up to 1024 

will be filled with 0

DMX4ALL-Command support 


The ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 interface has an additional communication-port 

which can receive the data from TCP-bundle at the port 10001. This port uses the 

DMX4ALL-Commands in this way, that the ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 interface 

is compatible to the LAN-DMX STAGE-PROFI. 

TCP-Control 

For control the interface directly with the TCP-connection please use the preset IPaddress 

and use the port 10001. The sent and received data are RAW-data bundle. 

Please take the DMX4ALL-Commands which are possible from the separate 

DMX4ALL-Command description. 

VCP-Control 

For the control with a COM-port a TCP-VCP-program must be installed which 

provides a virtual Com port (VCP). 

We recommend the tool Serial to Ethernet Connection which has been tested by us. 

You find this tool on the enclosed CD and as an download in our support-sector. 

During the installation you have to 

enter a password (see illustration).


After the installation start the tool „ 

Sentos SEC” which is on the 

desktop. Now add a VCP with Add 

and specify the parameter for the 

VCP-port. 

Make sure, that you use the IP which 

is adjusted about the web browser. 

Finally, click Update all in the main 

menu window for activating the 

VCP. Now, the status became 

Available and the COM-port will be 

displayed in the device manager. 

Factory Reset 

The ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 interface can be reset into the delivery status 

with the button next to the RJ45 connector. 

Please proceed as follows: 

- Power off the device 

- Push the button and hold down 

- Power on the device 

- Green and yellow LED flashes now ca. 10 seconds alternate 

- Release the button during the alternate LED flashing 

- The reset will be executed and the LEDs flashes 3x simultaneous for 

confirmation


DMX over WLAN 

The ArtNet-DMX STAGE-PROFI 1.1 can used together with WiiFi components to 

transfer the DMX data wireless. It is possible to transfer one or more DMX universes.
