Web Server Configuration

The system overview page enables the current configuration of the connected node to be viewed at a glance.

The current name, serial number, IP address, subnet mask, firmware version, and bootloader version can be viewed in the top overview module.

The node can be reconfigured quickly by pressing the "Quick Setup" button and then selecting one of the preset configurations.

Also shown on this page are each of the individual port settings currently applied on the node.

Each port has it’s own overview module, displaying the: port number, direction, status LED, port name, configuration type, and universe number.

The device configuration page enables core system settings to be modified. Inside the configuration module, the node name, RDM setting and Lost Input Data settings can be changed.

Also found in the top module are additional options to toggle identify, the node LEDs and, if connected to the internet, check if a firmware upgrade is available for the node. These can be found by pressing the 3 vertical dot icon in the top right of the module.

The network configuration page allows for both the IP address & subnet mask of the node to be modified.

The port configuration page allows for each of the node ports to be configured. Each port has it’s own configuration module and can be selected by clicking the circle select box to fine tune that ports settings.

Multiple ports can be configured at the same time by selecting the "Multi-Select Ports" option or by holding shift and then clicking on each port.

Once selected, the port’s: direction (in/out), name, output/input type, and universe number can be modified. Once adjusted to the desired configuration, the selected ports settings can be saved by pressing the "Save" button.

At all times the current port settings are displayed at the top of the page.

To quickly configure all ports on the connected node, the "Quick Configure" wizard button can be pressed in the top right of the page. This opens a module whereby a direction, output/input type and start universe are entered. When the "Configure Ports" button is pressed, the node is reconfigured to the desired settings, sequentially numbering the ports from the start universe entered.

The DMX timing configuration page enables core timing values of the out-going DMX to be modified. Inside the configuration module, the separate: frame timing, MAB and break timing can be changed.

The scene configuration page allows for the on-board scenes to be recorded, erased, replaced, and basic settings modified.

At all times 10 slots are displayed on the page. If a slot is completely blank it is labelled "+ Add Scene", clicking the empty slot will record the current output of the node to that scene slot.

If a scene is recorded to that slot, the scene’s name and fade timing are displayed.

In the top right of each scene slot are controls to play (green triangle icon), replace/record over (red circle icon), and erase (white trash icon) that particular scene. When a scene is active, "ACTIVE" is displayed in the top left of that slot and the play icon is replaced with a stop (green square) icon.

To edit a recorded scene’s name or fade time, new values can be entered into the respective boxes. Hitting the "Save" button will save that scene’s new name and/or timing.

Supported on GeNetix GN5 & GeNetix GN10 nodes is the option for launching a scene when the 10Scene contact trigger pin is activated. On these products an additional module is shown at the bottom of the page allowing for this scene to be defined.

The User Configs page allows for custom user configurations to be saved, recalled or cleared. As described in the User Configs chapter, the node settings can be saved to 1 of 10 slots allowing for quick reconfiguring of the node to user favourited settings.

The help & support page details the most recent GeNetix documentation location along with warranty and support contact information.

At the very bottom of the page are some details of the node model number, serial number, firmware version, bootloader version and web server application version.

These details may be useful if contacting ChamSys Support.

When the GeNetix node is placed in a PIN locked state, the web configuration page can be unlocked by entering the correct 4-digit pin into the unlock module.

When entered correctly the web page will automatically refresh, enabling configuration from the web page.

If the PIN is entered incorrectly the page is locked for a few seconds, not allowing any further PIN attempts until the timer has expired. On further failed PIN attempts the lockout time is increased.

When an error occurs the web configuration page will blank all controls and present one of the following error codes.
