Since I will learn a bit more of the inner workings of PoE I´m actually interested beyond "hey it works again, next topic please". Give me a little time, I´ll come back to this. But now that things work again, I´m a bit busy getting my head around DMXC - just want to drill down and see whether it´s worth the effort to switch my DMX software, because that would involve rewriting something near 1500 scenes. I can check a different port, switch and cable and node (since I just bought a second net-2/3). Repeating the pattern is easy, just turn PoE on and offĬould be everything between faulty hardware or "special" features on the switch side, maybe human error (config options I never had to use before with other PoE devices), maybe some hickup on the node side or just a mismatch between two interpretations of a protocol to detect class, dunno. There are some options I´d like to check, because, quite frankly, I´d prefer to go PoE as well :). Temporarily simplify the setup as complexity is the natural enemy of troubleshooting. TLDR: Look in the most unlikely spots always take notes to pinpoint the issue. Running other PoE devices from the same switch (Cisco 2960L) didn´t give me any issues, power consumption is also around 20% of the switch capability.

Sniffing ethernet traffic via a span port didn´t give me a clear root cause, nor did sniffing on the DMX bus.Īfter trying almost anything, including isolating artnet traffic in a dedicated vlan, shortening the DMX chain, recabling and whatnot. the setup worked like a charme, but when I decided to remove the wallwart power supply of my artnet node (showtec net2/3) and go PoE instead, all hell broke loose, random data being sent on the DMX bus, everything acting funny. I spent three days troubleshooting my artnet setup, loosing hair and maxing out blood pressure. Not fully related, but something to keep in mind: Can anyone advise a solution? (There is comment saying don't buy the cheapest interface, and I thought that Enttec would be fine.Īll help appreciated as I learn my way around DMX I note that in other configurations there are options to configure the IP address of the Ethernet interface for info I attach the settings from within DMXControl. LTP/HTP can be programmed on a per channel basis using our snapshot technique: simply set the. The scenes can be mixed together with the faders operating as masters. In scene mixer mode, each fader can playback a 512 channel scene. It is presented in a two-gang UK style panel. (yes I have shut down the vibrio when it is not in use. matisse f6 dmx is a multi-function DMX controller with 6 faders. (It affects both my DMX devices and as said they behave fine under Vibrio. I do seem to be able to control the devices but they time out and have random transient effects. I added ArtNet by adding DMX Interface and using the 'Artistic Licence' ArtNet option.

The symptoms are that I get some random behavoiurs on the devices I am using. I have this working fine with Vibrio (iPad) but I am finding that I have some inconsistencies in behaviour when I try to use DMXControl to control my devices. I am using DMXControl 3.2.2 and an Enttec ODE Mk2 interface.

I am hoping someone can help me with what I think is and ArtNet question.
