FLX Artnet ip-only network with ARRI Skypanels

[Richard Lackey]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I have 12 ARRI Skypanels networked using ethernet through a couple of small switches (they are on two hanging trusses) and plugged directly into the FLX console ethercon port. Skypanels are set up for Artnet on 10.x.x.x with 255.0.0.0 gateway, DMX channels assigned correctly (12 channels per Skypanel). When I unplug the console and plug in a laptop running LightJams, all of the fixtures are detected and I can assign everything and control. However for the life of me I can't get it working with FLX. Artnet is set up on 10, and all the fixtures are added with correct channel assignments.

Has anyone set up FLX using Artnet over a ip only network?

Hoping someone has some wisdom to share.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

You say the Skypanel’s Gateway is set to 255.0.0.0, do you mean subnet? If not what is their subnet set to (this should also be 255.0.0.0)?

Have you tried disabling ArtNet, exiting Setup, reentering Setup and re-enabling ArtNet? This will do another manual search for devices. Are the Skypanels appearing in Network Devices in Setup?

Hope that helps

Edward
