10. ArtNET for Moncha.NET

ArtNET is one of the “DMX over Ethernet” protocol. It’s used by wide range of lightning consoles. You can

find more information about the ArtNET at www.artisticlicence.com.

Controlling Moncha.NET over ArtNET is very convenient – you can use Ethernet cables to wire all the

lasers and you can upload your scenes and shows from Moncha software remotely over the same cables.

And there is another benefit – controlling Moncha.NET over ArtNET is very fluent even for animations.

ArtNET usually requires IP 2.X.X.X or 10.X.X.X IP range. Since Moncha.NET firmware version 2.5 you can

set all 4 bytes of IP address of the Moncha.NET device. But in our experience, most of the ArtNET

software allow you to use almost any IP address.

There are following important settings for ArtNET in Moncha.NET:

IP address – should be 2.X.X.X or 10.X.X.X for ArtNET (but in our experience, any IP address will work).

DMX address – it’s the same as for DMX mode of Moncha.NET

DMX universe – ArtNET protocol can transfer multiple Universes. You can define Universe for every

Moncha.NET device.
