Example Configuration 2: sACN and DMX Sources

This example demonstrates how to configure the Net-X to merge two sACN signals with LTP,
split two separate DMX signals, and output those signals and another sACN signal to several
separate DMX Out ports. The numbers used in this example are for demonstrative purposes,
and are only one of thousands of possible configurations.
First configure two sACN controllers to output signals with the same priority on Universe 6,
and a third sACN controller to output a signal on Universe 3. Then do the following:
1. Set the ethernet protocol for the Net-X to sACN. (See Ethernet Configuration.)
2. Set IP Address #1 to 239.255.255.003, and IP Address #2 to 239.255.255.006.
(See Configuring IP Addresses.)
3. Set the Net Mode to LTP, and the DMX Mode to OFF. (See Signal Merging.)
4. Set Universe #1 and #8 to 3, and Universe #3 and #6 to 6. (See sACN Universes.)
5. Set DMX Output #1, #3, #6, and #8 to sACN Input, DMX Output #2 and #4 to
DMX #1 Input, and DMX Output #5 and #7 to DMX #2 Input.
(See Configuring DMX Outputs.)
6. Plug in all input cables and output cables as shown in the Example 2 Diagram.
