Setup<\/h2>\n

Add one interface for each universe<\/strong> you want to send.
Each interface sends Art-Net data for that specific universe.[\/vc_column_text][vc_message message_box_color=”success” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-regular fa-hand-point-up” css=””]To send data to a single device, enter its IP address \u2013 this is called Unicast<\/strong>.
If you want to send data to multiple devices, you can use Multicast<\/strong> by setting the last number of the IP address to 255<\/code> (for example: 192.168.0.255<\/code>).[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1744695723550{background-color: rgba(15,0,0,0.3) !important;*background-color: rgb(15,0,0) !important;}” el_class=”.grayBox”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
