Lost Data Input

How a node reacts when losing network data (Art-Net or sACN) can be configured:

The network is only considered to be lost when data for all network ports configured as Outputs is lost.

Table 1. Lost Data Input
Menu Option	Menu Action
Hold (default)	Holds the last output DMX values
Zeroes	Outputs DMX 0s on all channels
None	Stops outputting DMX
Scene	Outputs the contents of a Scene. If the Scene is not programmed for one or more ports then those port hold the DMX
Scenes Panel	Outputs the contents of a Scene selected from a 10Scene Wall Plate. If the Scene is not programmed for one or more ports then those ports hold their previous DMX.

Sync Mode

GeNetix nodes support synchronised DMX output to reduce tearing. Synchronisation is controlled via ChamNet and is available when used with MagicQ consoles.

GeNetix nodes also support Art-Net and sACN synchronisation.

Menu Option	Menu Action
None	Sync Disabled
Multi Unit	…
Auto Detect (default)	…

RDM

GeNetix network nodes support ANSI E1.20 RDM.

The GeNetix nodes only perform RDM operations when requested by a console or controller. They do not perform discovery on start up, or at predefined intervals. GeNetix Nodes only perform RDM discovery when explicitly requested by the console. This ensures that show critical DMX operation is not affected by RDM

Options are:

Table 3. RDM
Menu Option	Menu Action
RDM Enabled (default)	Enables RDM (Remote Device Management) on all Ports of the Node
RDM Read Only	Allows the connected fixtures RDM data to be read by Lighting Consoles, but will not pass any RDM modify commands from controller to fixtures. This is particularly useful in fixed installations where venue staff may want to block fixtures DMX address and mode from being modified
RDM Disabled	Disables RDM on all ports of the Node

DMX Timings

Table 4. DMX Timings
Menu Option	Menu Action
DMX Frame	DMX Frame timing, range from 49 to 149us (default 56us)
DMX MAB	Mark after break timing, range from 12 to 99us (default 12us)
DMX Break	DMX Break timing, range from 92 to 9999us (default 176us)

Lock

GeNetix nodes support a lock PIN to prevent the configuration being modified from the front panel of the GeNetix and also optionally from all network interfaces. The PIN applies to each interface separately and each instance of MagicQ, QuickQ or web server.

When the lock PIN is active the PIN must be entered to use the menu system. The system can be relocked from the menu. When unlocked, after 30 seconds of inactivity the device automatically locks again.

When set to "All Interfaces" the PIN also restricts access from MagicQ and QuickQ consoles and from the web server.

Users that forget their passwords will need to contact ChamSys support to get a recovery code. Each device has a unique recovery code.

Table 5. PIN
Menu Option	Menu Action
Unlock (default)	Node fully unlocked and configurable
Lock Device Only	Locks the devices in built display and buttons requiring PIN entry to unlock, device can be configured via the web server and console without need for PIN
Lock All Interfaces	Locks device, Web server and configuration from Console requiring PIN entry to unlock
Set Pin	Available when device is unlocked allowing customer device PIN to be set

Node Name

Allows a custom name to be given to the device. The Node Name is displayed on the home screen of the Node and also displayed in the web server and on MagicQ/QuickQ consoles. This is particularly useful when multiple nodes are present on the network to allow for Node Identification.

Factory Reset

This setting will reset the device back to it’s original out of box configuration. All user data is erased after a Factory Reset, this includes all node settings including IP address, Port & Protocol settings, Scenes and User Configs.
