This tutorial applies to Windows only, and all MXWendler versions.

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will connect a grandMA onPC software with a grandMA 2Port node. The onPC software will send Art-Net, which will be used to control an MXWendler mediaserver.


Configure the grandMA on PC System

1. Open the network adapter settings, assign interface a primary MA-Net2 IP address. ( here 192.168.4.254 )

2. Open 'Erweitert...' / 'Extended...'

3. Add a secondary interface IP address in the Art-Net range ( recommended 2.x.x.x ). The netmask of 255.0.0.0 is important.

4. Open MA Setup, create a new session on the MA-Net2 IP ( here 192.168.4.254 )


5. Open DMX nodes, add the node, assign it an MA-Net2 IP address ( here 192.168.4.250 ), set Ma-Net2 mode, set session-id that matches the previously created session.
