Finding the IP address of a product
There are three methods for finding the IP address of an Art-Net product:
- Connect using DMX-Workshop, this will display the product in a network list along with its IP address. DMX-Workshop can be downloaded from here.
- Ping: Open a command line window and use the ping command. If the products are on the normal Art-Net address range, type: “ping 2.255.255.255”. This approach is best on a Mac as Macs do not support net-bios.
- If the product is from Artistic Licence, perform a net-bios search (Windows only). To do this, connect the product to your laptop’s network, open browser and type in one of the following net-bios names, depending upon the product you are using:
| Artistic Licence Product | Net-Bios name |
| Data-Lynx O/P | DATALYNXOP |
| Data-Lynx I/P | DATALYNXIP |
| Data-Lynx I/OP | DATALYNXIO |
| Down-Lynx | DownLynx |
| Up-Lynx | UpLynx |
| Net-Lynx O/P | NetLynxOp |
| Net-Lynx I/P | NetLynxIp |
| Cata-Lynx I/P | CataLynxIp |
| Cata-Lynx O/P | CataLynxOp |
| Ether-Lynx II | EtherLynxII |
| Art-Lynx O/P | ArtLynxOp |
| Art-Lynx I/P | ArtLynxIp |
| Art-Pipe | ArtPipe |
| Art-Relay | ArtRelay |
| Multichrome E2 | E2MultiChrome |
Occasionally the net-bios cache in the browser gets out of date. To flush the cache and restart, type the following in the browser window: nbtstat -R
