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.
| Pathport Nodes | The Interface Manager displays the connected Pathport nodes it has found on the network. Right-click and select 'Properties' to make limited changes. |
| Pathport Ports | Under each node are the Ports (i.e. actual physical DMX outputs) provides by the port. Right-click and select 'Properties' to make limited changes. |
| Pathport Properties | Artist treats the xDMX as 64 lines, each of 512 channels, of DMX512 and these are all provided on the xDMX data transport within the protocol. Not all of these lines (or, in Pathport parlance, 'Sources') need be used. |
