X-Net 8 ArtNet Addressing
by Mick Martin | Mar 21, 2012 | Knowledge Base

The X-Net 8 has an inexplicably complicated switch setting. In this article I do my best to explain it.

The possible addresses are in the range 2.39.2.4 to 2.39.2.250. Each address setting occupies 2 address slots. So, for example, Sw1 = 1, Sw2 = 3, Sw3 = 0 corresponds to 2.39.2.4 to 2.39.2.5.

It is important to note that the address change does not take affect until the X-Net interface is powered off and on.

The address range below is that of the least significant IP address field.

Address range	Sw1	Sw2	Sw3	 
4 thru 23	1	3	0 thru 9	 
24 thru 43	1	4	0 thru 9	 
44 thru 63	1	5	0 thru 9	 
64 thru 83	1	6	0 thru 9	 
84 thru 103	1	7	0 thru 9	 
104 thru 123	1	8	0 thru 9	 
124 thru 143	1	9	0 thru 9	 
144 thru 163	2	0	0 thru 9	 
164 thru 183	2	1	0 thru 9	 
184 thru 203	2	2	0 thru 9	 
200 thru 219	1	0	0 thru 9	 
220 thru 239	1	1	0 thru 9
