Editing Artist Help:Pathport


 DMX Ethernet Gateway at http://www.pathwayconnect.com 

Artist can send and receive DMX data on the Pathport protocol. This provides Artist with up to 32,000 DMX channels in addition to those provided by the other supported interfaces.

See Pathway Connectivity website for a detailed description of setting up a Pathport network. 

In general, you will set up your Pathport network using the Pathport Manager (supplied by Pathway).

Pathport is not enabled by default. Open Interface Manager/Pathport/Properties to enable.
