Art-Net Network configuration:
Art-Net uses as hardware ethernet networks, their messages use UDP port 6454. There are two
ranges of IPs defined for use: 2.x.x.x/8 and 10.x.x.x/8 (If you connect through a router or a computer
connected to the Internet), the subnet mask should always be 255.0.0.0
The default node IP address is indicated on the label of the controller, if we use a computer as a
controller needs to be set in the same IP range (eg: IP = 2.0.0.1 subnet mask = 255.0.0.0 Gateway =
2.0.0.1)
Recommended to use in the network must be Gigabit Ethernet.
Preferably ethernet network must be exclusive use for Art-Net. There should be no Art-Net network
connection to Internet (because the IP range 2.0.0.0 is also assigned on the Internet), if there is a
router on network with Internet access, the packets sent to addresses Art-Net 2.x.x.x are routed to
Internet, and deskontroller LITE will not work.

deskontroller LITE configuration:
Put your computer on Art-Net Network. IP=2.0.0.1 MASK=255.0.0.0
Connect network cable from your computer to deskontroller LITE Ethernet Art-Net input.
If you have more than one deskontroller LITE, connect it through a Gigabit Ethernet switch.
In your usual web browser, put the deskontroller LITE's IP to access the setup and tools.
Look at the label on the bottom of the deskontroller LITE.

Outputs universes by output (according to the model)
Initial values whenever the controller starts in the universe 1.
If you change the first universe in the configuration, add previous universes to the values.
If you patch RGB pixels, they are 170 pixels per universe (170 x RGB = 510 channels, your software
must discards the last two channels of each universe)
If you patch RGBW or Single Color pixels, they are 128 pixels per universe (128 x RGBW = 512
channels)
