CONFIGURATION USING RESISTIVE LCD TOUC SCREEN
DigiNet 416 can be configured locally on device by using control panel buttons or remotely
through Ethernet port by accessing built in web page with WEB browser or with DigiNet
manager software.
Navigation trough menus is done using resistive LCD touch screen.
When device is turned on, loading screen is shown.
At this point, if pressed anywhere on the screen, a touch screen calibration screen will appear.
Now you are at the main menu and see the main screen with most important information:
Configuration:
Here you can see:
Assigned ID (name) for your DigiNet;
Mask;
Protocol;
DMX refresh (rate);
Easy priority;
Src loss (source loss).
Status:
Network (state + information about network speed)
Network usage (in percent).
Outputs:
Information about 4 DMX output groups.

Configuration:
Fixture ID: (DigiNet 416 in this case);
DMX refresh: (40Hz in this case);
IP: (2.145.232.108. in this case);
Mask: (255.0.0.0 in this case);
Protocol: (Art Net in this case).
Status:
Network: (Link down in this case, when there is network, it shows the network type, 1G FD (1 gigabit, full du
plex) for example and it shows the network usage in percent);
Device and version description: (Company NA DigiNet 416 in this case)
Port information:
Information of all 16 DMX ports, labeled as A; B; C...
If using the Art Net protocol, the universes start from universe 0.
In case you are using sACN, there is no universe 0 so universe numbering will start from universe 1.
Overall information about device:
The DigiNet 416 has 2 status LEDs for each DMX port.
Each port has assigned switch that defines which universe the port depends on.
You can switch ports 1 8 as A port group or B port group outputs
You can switch ports 9 16 as C port group or D port group outputs.
Due the fact that there is just 4 maximum universes to assign (one universe for each of 4 port groups), you
can easily use this fixture as a DMX data splitter.
For example, you can use the DigiNet 416 as 2x8 port splitters or 4x4 port splitters.

There are 4 different port groups.
A, B, C and D.
In this example scheme you can see that the DigiNet 416 is set up as 4 independant splitters.
Ports 1, 2, 3, 4 are assigned to port group B;
Ports 5, 6, 7, 8 are assigned to port group A;
Ports 9, 10, 11, 12 are assigned to port group D;
Ports 13, 14, 15, 16 are assigned to port group C.

In case you need to use DigiNet 416 as 2x8 port DMX splitter, the configuration will look like this:
Ports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are assigned to port group A;
Ports 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 are assigned to port group C.

Configuration menu:
By pressing the "Configuration" button, a new configuration sub menu will pop up.
There are 6 pages:
1) Node setup
2) Protocol setup
3) Protocol setup
4) IP setup
5) Configuration profiles
6) Defaults

1) NODE SETUP:
Node name:
Here you can exchange the node name, replace the default name (DigiNet 416 is the default one) with your
desired name.
By pressing this button, a new window will pop up:
Using this keyboard you can exchange the name to your desired name.
By pressing the shift (Level 2 Select key) button on the virtual keyboard, all letters will change to capital let
ters and symbols will exchange.
