Title: EtherDongle Vixen 2.1 Setup
Post by: pk on April 28, 2012,

I have the etherdongle.  I have it working on channels 1-4096.  What do I need to do to get channels 4097-8192 in the second universe to work?  What channels do I assign to the SSC's in the second universe?

 I have been trying to get this to work but have been unsuccessful.

Jumper your second hub to pixelnet universe #2 and plug the ssc's for the second universe into that hub. Then in vixen it is channels 4097 - up but the sscs are set for channel 1 - 4096 .

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks RJ.  Yes, that makes sense.  In Vixen, do I setup the EtherDongle output plugin as channels 1-8192?

Part of the problem I was seeing... I neglected to solder the PixelNet IN connector.    <fp.  It works much better when soldered!!

Funny that, I had some issues with the DMX channels coming off one of my Active Hubs.The lights connected to the DMX channels would flash on an off randomly. Then I discovered that I forgot to solder the connector supplying the DMX signals.  <fp.

Soldered it up and all the lights started working properly.
