Tutorial Connecting the grandMA 2Port Node with MXWendler via Art-Net

To use this feature a Windows operative system is required

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

Configure the grandMA onPC PC system

02. Open 'Erweitert...' / 'Extended...'

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

Configure the grandMA onPC software

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

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