ArtNet-DMX Mux24 2
Description
The ArtNet-DMX Mux24 has 16 digital inputs and 8 additional inputs which are
adaptable analog or digital. The output occurs via ArtNet and DMX.
16 Long Distance Inputs
There are 16 digital inputs available to connect buttons or switches. The inputs are
designed as Long Distance inputs, so the switching elements can also be mounted at
a greater distance.
8 switchable analog/digital inputs
Further 8 inputs are analog or digital useable.
Within the DIGITAL-Mode these inputs are designed as Long Distance-Inputs.
Within the ANALOG-MODE the inputs are able to convert analog signals by 0-10V or
0-5V into DMX-Values.
Individually configurable
Each input is individually configurable. Both, the function (Mode) as well as the DMX-
Channels to be controlled are adjustable for each input.
4 configurable Timer
4 separately configurable Timer allow time-controlled on/off switching of DMX-
Channels.
Easy Configuration
A user-friendly configuration via a web browser allows quick and easy setting of all
parameters. No special software is required, a normal web browser is enough.
So, the configuration is possible at any time from a PC, smartphone or tablet.
For easy adjustment of the IP we provide the IP-Configurator as PC-Tool or Android-
App for free. This allows to leave the network settings unchanged and to configure
the IP easily.
Firmware-Update-Function
To use future function the ArtNet-DMX Mux24 provides a Firmware-Update-Function.
It can be started via the web browser so no access to the device is necessary!

Configuration
The ArtNet-DMX Mux24 configuration occurs via a web-interface which can be
called up via any web browser.
Set the IP with the IP-Configurator
The IP-Configurator allows setting the IP-Address and the net mask also if the PCs
network setting is not in the IP-Range of the ArtNet-DMX Mux24.
-Install the programm IP-Configurator
-Connect the ArtNet-DMX Mux24 with the net mask and turn it on.
-Start the programm IP-Configurator
-The ArtNet-DMX Mux24 is shown in the list
-Click on the entry
-Enter the new IP and net mask
-Click SET

Set the IP with the web browser
The assigned IP-Address within the delivery status is 2.0.0.5 which will be used for
the web-interface as well as for the ArtNet.
Set your computers network card to this IP range to access the IP address via the
web browser.
The PCs network settings must be the
IP
-
Address 2.0.0.1 and the subnet mask
must be 255.0.0.0.
Please take further details from the ArtNet-
Specifications.

Device Configuration
Please call up the IP of the ArtNet-DMX Mux24 within the web browser and address
bar (delivery status: 2.0.0.5) and to get the following configuration side:

that the assignment occurs clearly
within the network. Please use in accordance to the ArtNet-Specification the IP-
Address 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x with the net mask 255.0.0.0 .
Any other IP-Address can be used too, like e.g. 192.168.1.10 .
In this case the net mask must be adjusted to 255.255.255.0 !
For a better distinction you can name the ArtNet-DMX Mux24 anyway.
The short-name is limited to 18 signs and the long-name to 64 signs.

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 8
Destination settings
The Destination settings specify the values for the ArtNet-Output.
With Dest. IP the IP-Address will be entered to which the data should be send via
ArtNet (Unicast).
Broadcast activates the ArtNet-Data output to all ArtNet-Devices. The Dest. IP will
not be considered in this case.
Net / SubNet / Port/Universe are the according ArtNet parameters.
Send only on change suppressed the regular repeated output of the values via
ArtNet.
Factory defaults
The Factory Settings will be restored with entering the number 7319.
SAVE stores the configuration respectively restored the Factory Settings.

Digital Inputs (IN1-IN16)
The digital inputs are realized as LONG DISTANCE inputs which allow using longer
supply pipes to the switching element.
The input wiring occurs with a switch or a button, connect to GND, as shown in the
following outline:
IN1 IN2 IN3 IN4 IN5 IN6 IN7 IN8 IN9 IN10 IN11 IN12 IN13 IN14 IN15 IN16 GND GND
The inputs can be configured via the web interface. Therefore the both configuration
sides Input 1-8 and Input 9-6 are available.
Per Input the Mode and Channels which should be controlled can be entered here.

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 10
The channel entry occurs as decimal value from 1 up to 512. If several channels
should be controlled via input, the single values must be entered separated and with
comma.
For example a single channel with “1” or several channels with “1,4,7”.
Furthermore it is possible to specify to be outputted. In this case the channel
specifications need an =Value, e.g. “1=222” to set channel 1 to 222. If no value is
specified, 255 (100%) is outputted, the specified value must be in the range 0 to 255.
The declared valuation is assigned with * within the modes.
You can choose between the following modes:
- Switch (Switch)
Active: Channels 100%*
Inactive: Channels 0%
-Button ON (Button ON)
Channels will be turned on - 100%*
-Button OFF (Button OFF)
Channels will be turned off - 0%
-Button ON/OFF (Button ON/OFF)
Channels will be switched between on and off 0% / 100%*
- Dimmer UP (Dimmer UP)
Channels will be dimmed upwards - 0% 100%
- Dimmer DOWN (Dimmer DOWN)
Channels will be dimmed downwards - 100% 0%
- Dimmer UP/DOWN (Dimmer UP/DOWN)
Channels will be dimmed upwards/downwards,
change of direction after each loose
- Button ON + Dimmer UP (Button ON + Dimmer UP)
Short active: Channels will be turned on
Long active: Channels will be dimmed upwards
- Button OFF + Dimmer DOWN (Button OFF + Dimmer DOWN)
Short active: Channels will be turned off
Long active: Channels will be dimmed downwards
- Button ON/OFF + Dimmer UP/DOWN (Button ON/OFF + Dimmer UP/DOWN)
Short active: Channels will be turned on/ -off
Long active: Channels will be dimmed upwards/ -downwards

ArtNet-DMX Mux24 11
Use digital inputs as binary inputs
For the digital inputs there are the possibilities to build one output value away several
inputs.
In this case the input must be configured as Switch.
The specification for the channels needs than a +=VALUE.
So, for the specified channels the value will be added.
A possible configuration for a 8Bit-binary input is as follows:
Input: IN1 up to IN8
Output: DMX-channel 1
Configuration: INPUT1: Mode: Switch
Channel: 1+=1
INPUT2: Mode: Switch
Channel: 1+=2
INPUT3: Mode: Switch
Channel: 1+=4
INPUT4: Mode: Switch
Channel: 1+=8
INPUT5: Mode: Switch
Channel: 1+=16
INPUT6: Mode: Switch
Channel: 1+=32
INPUT7: Mode: Switch
Channel: 1+=64
INPUT8: Mode: Switch
Channel: 1+=128

Analog / Digital Inputs (IN17-IN24)
The analog/digital inputs are adaptable for using as LONG DISTANCE digital inputs
or analog inputs.
The inputs will be configured via the web-interface.
The selection, if the inputs should be used analog or digital, occurs in the Global
SETUP. On the configuration-site Input 17-24 the function of the single channels will
be determined.

Timer
The ArtNet-DMX Mux24 serves 4 timer. Each of these have a time for switch-on and
a time for switch-off as well as a selection for the weekdays on which the timer
should be active.
The channel on which the timer should work will be specified as decimal value from 1
up to 512. If several channels should be controlled via the timer, so the single values
must be entered separately with a comma.
For example a single channel with „100“ or several channels with „100,110,120“.
Furthermore it is possible to specify to be outputted. In this case the channel
specifications need an =Value, e.g. “100=222” to set channel 100 to 222. If no value
is specified, 255 (100%) is outputted, the specified value must be in the range 0 to
255.
With Save the settings will be stored and the current time will be adopted in the
ArtNet-DMX Mux24, from the device on which the website was called.
