Description
The Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 is a compact Art-Net (DMX via Ethernet) interface
which includes a modern ARM
®
microcontroller.
Additional the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 has a certified 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
(FCC, CE, IC, and TELEC) for a direct connection to a Wi-Fi network.
Switchable DMX-line
The DMX-line is switchable according to usage. So Art-Net can be realized to DMX
or DMX to Art-Net.
Adjustable DMX-Frame rate
Within the DMX-OUTPUT-MODE the frame rate is adjustable, so this interface is
compatible to “slow” DMX-Devices.
Art-Net Merge-Function
Two Art-Net-sources will be joined outputted via LTP (Latest) or http (Highest) to the
DMX-Output.
Switched off LED
The LEDs at the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 are suppressible via ArtNet-Command
(AcLedMute) or time-controlled.
This is helpful on stages to avoid disturbing “light points”.
Fast launch with WPS
With the WPS-Function the registration to an Access-Point is possible at the touch of
a button. Without an additional installation of encodings, controllings can be
integrated in existing networks and allows an easy possibility of usage without
additional network activities.
Easy Configuration
For an easy IP-Setting we provide free the IP-Configurator as PC-Tool or Android-
App.
High-quality and compact performance
The Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 is built in compact aluminium housing.
Firmware-Update-Function
To use prospective and further functions the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 provides an
integrated Firmware-Update-Function.

Quick Start with WPS
Please proceed as follows to operate the Wirless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 with the WPS-
Function:
-Connect the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 with the attached power supply.
-Start the WPS-Function at your Router/Access-Point.
-Push the WPS-Button at the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 .
The WPS/WiFi-LED flashes in short pitches.
-As soon as the WPS/WiFi-LED lights permanently the connection is
established. The IP is received via DHCP.
-Optionally you can adjust a fixed IP.
See section „Set a fixed IP with IP-Configurator“
-Art-Net details which are sent to the ArtNet-DMX 1.1 are outputted via DMX.
The Default settings are:
Universe: 0
SubNet: 0
Net: 0
The quick start with WPS instruction assumed that the Wireless ArtNet-DMX
1.1 is located within the default settings at the beginning!
to generate the Default settings see section „Factory Reset“

Device configuration
For the configuration you need a USB-connection to PC with the program DMX-
Configurator.
Proceed as follows to make the device configuration:
-Connect the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 via USB to PC
A USB-cable with MiniB-plug is needed
Install the USB-driver if it does not exist so far
-Start the program DMX-Configurator
This is available as download by www.dmx4all.de
-Please built a connection with the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 within the DMX-
Configurator
-Please call up under menu SettingsHardware Settings
-Here the device configuration can be done
-By clicking OK the settings are transferred and stored to the Wireless ArtNet-

WiFi-Settings
The Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 can be configured as WiFi-Client or P2P-Master.
Client
If the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 is configured as Client, so the device registers itself to
an Access-Point.
Therefore the network-name must be created under Network name (SSID). The
Security-Mode must be chosen and if necessary the password (Pass phrase) must
be entered.
In this configuration the Security-Mode Open, WPA/WPA2 or WEP (40 or 104)
can be used.
P2P-Master
If the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 is configured as P2P-Master so a Client can register
itself directly to this per WiFi. So a direct point to point connection is possible and no
access point is needed.
For the WiFi-Connection the channel (Channel) is to assign which should be used.
In this Configuration only the Security-Mode Open is given, meaning an
insecure connection.
Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 9
Device-Settings
Each device needs within the network an own IP-address, so the assignment occurs
clearly in the network. This can be received via DHCP or can be assigned fixed.
Is DHCP active, so the IP is received automatically.
If DHCP is not active the IP and net mask must be assigned manually.
Please use according to the ArtNet-Spezification the IP-address 2.x.x.x or
10.x.x.x . In this case the net mask is to adjust to 255.0.0.0 .
Each other IP-address can be used also, e.g. 192.168.1.10 .
In this case the net mask must be adapted to 255.255.255.0 !
For Art-Net devices any names can be assigned, so you can use this assignment for
an easier distinction.
The Short-Name is limited to 18 signs and the Long-Name is limited to 64 signs.
If the option LED Automatic off is activated the devices LEDs are switched off after
10 minutes operation mode by permanently net working connection.

DMX-Settings
The Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 can be configured as DMX-Output (Art-Net to DMX)
or DMX-Input (DMX to Art-Net).
DMX-Output (Art-Net to DMX)
To use the Wireless ArtNet-DMX 1.1 as DMX-Output-Interface, the Interface-Mode
DMX-Output must be chosen.
The parameters Net, SubNet and Port/Universe specify which DMX-data should be
used.
Framerate specifies the maximal DMX-Frame rate.
Maximum complies the maximal frame rate of ca. 44 fps (Frames/second).
The Merge setting can be adjusted to LTP (Latest) or HTP (Highest).
Via ArtSync/MSync the DMX-output of several Art-Net-devices can be synchronized
by using the Software MADRIX
®.
