I think on Zeus v1. I had to use universe#1 for programming, even using the Etherdongle, then after programming I could switch the entire zeus to any universe I wanted afterwards.
I'm kind of guessing you might have to do it that same way, since all the programming is really based on a 1-4096 channel range ... and then set your universe jumpers as you want them last.
The big difference being you select a universe for each channel instead of just one for the entire zero board.
Can anyone confirm?
I believe that the Smart String Utility sends the same information across all 4 universes, therefore it shouldn't matter which universe is set when configuring the Zeus. I just tested this by using the utility to program the first pic on a regular Zeus 16 that I have setup, while it was jumpered to universe #2 then moving the jumpers back to universe #1 and then I successfully ran a sequence that used the first pics channel range.
If you look at the test configuration I used for testing the v2, you can see that I went across the board with the universes for testing.

LoginI programmed the Zeus v2 first by jumping each to universe #1 during programming then moving the jumpers to the 4 universes as listed and testing. I then reprogrammed each with the jumpers set to the final universes and retested with the same results.
