Heartbeat 2: ♥(Right-hand heart) symbol indicates node has seen at least one
other node online in the last minute.
DMX512 Indicator: →(right arrow) symbol indicates that a Port is putting

The initialization LCD screen text will appear at half-intensity during the SN110’s
initialization process. The LCD back light will not illuminate. “Strand Lighting”
will appear on the top line of the LCD. The current software version (V2.6.11 in
this example) will appear on the second line of the display.
Please note that this screen utilizes the majority of the 43-second total
initialization/boot time.

turns on fully, and “Strand Lighting” will appear on the top line of the LCD. The
current software version (V2.6.11 in this example) will appear on the second line
of the display.
The Ethernet MAC address of the node (00:E0:01:00:1F:73 in this example) will
appear on the fourth line of the display.

5.0 SN110 SCREEN PHOTO – STARTUP SCREEN
Figure 4 - Strand SN110 Startup Screen.
After the node boots the startup screen will then appear. The Node Name
(RELAYCR4 in this example) will appear on the top line of the LCD. The IP
address of the node will appear on the second line. The third line will show both
the Port 1 and Port 2 label. And the fourth line will show the Port 1 and Port 2
settings.
In this example, the monitor configuration has been set to “0” for Port 1 and to
DMX512 output 1 for Port 2. Port 1 is currently outputting DMX512 on one of its
512 outputs, so it’s DMX Out indicator is unmarked. Port 2 is not outputting
DMX512 on dimmer 1, so it has a line through its DMX Out.

6.0 SN110 SCREEN PHOTO – DMX512 INDICATORS
Figure 5 - Strand SN110 DMX512 Indicators.
After a few more seconds of being on-line the heartbeat and DMX512 indicators
symbols will appear.
Note that the two flashing heartbeats are present in this photo, indicating that not
only is this node healthy (1st Heartbeat), but it can see another Strand node on
the network (2nd Heartbeat). Also note the two arrows pointing to the left of the
LCD screen, indicating that DMX512 is being read off of the network and output
on both ports.
In this example, the monitor configuration has been set to “0” for Port 1 and to
DMX512 output “1” for Port 2. Port 1 is currently outputting DMX512 on one of
its 512 outputs, so its DMX Out indicator is unmarked. Port 2 is outputting
DMX512 on dimmer 1, so it has a level line underneath its DMX Out.

7.0 SN110 SCREEN PHOTO – NO DMX512 ON PORT 1
Figure 6 - Strand SN110 DMX512 Indicators.
In this example note the single arrow pointing to the left of the LCD screen,
indicating that DMX512 is being read off of the network and being output on
DMXPort2 on the node.
In this example, the monitor configuration has been set to “0” for Port 1 and to
DMX512 output “1” for Port 2. to “” for Port 2. Port 1 is currently not outputting
DMX512 on one of its 512 outputs, so it has a line through its DMX OUT. Port 2
is outputting DMX512 on dimmer 1, so it has a level line underneath its DMX Out.

8.0 SN110 SCREEN PHOTO – DMX512 INPUT ON PORT 1
Figure 7 - Strand SN110 DMX512 Input.
In this example DMXPort1 has been reconfigured as a DMX In port. Please note
the arrow pointing to the right of the LCD screen, indicating that DMX512 is being
input unto the network from Port 1.
In this example, the monitor configuration has been set to “0” for Port 1 and Port
2. Port 1 is currently inputting DMX512 on one of its 512 inputs, so its DMX In
indicator is unmarked. Port 2 is outputting DMX512 on one of its 512 outputs so
its DMX Out indicator is unmarked.
