This application note describes the procedure to control an ArtNet Player X4 / X8 /
X16 / X16+ with control elements (e.g. buttons) via an ArtNet-DMX MUX 16 / 24.
In this application note the 16 inputs of the ArtNet-DMX MUX16 are used for the
direct call of the first 16 programs in an ArtNet Player X16+.
The ArtNet Player X16+ (in the following only called ArtNet Player X) and the
ArtNet-DMX MUX16 (in the following only called ArtNet-DMX MUX) can also be
exchanged for other versions.
According to the ArtNet specification, the IP range 2.0.0.x with the subnet mask
255.0.0.0 is used in this application note. It is also possible to use other IP ranges
such as 192.168.1.x with the corresponding subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
The remote connection between ArtNet Player X and ArtNet-DMX MUX can be
made via ArtNet (Remote via ArtNet) or via DMX (Remote via DMX). Both variants
are described below and cannot be combined with one another.
Follow points 1,2,3,4 for remote via ArtNet and points 1,5,6,7
for remote via DMX.

1. Create programs for ArtNet Player X
The ArtNet Player X requires a MicroSD card for the program which is inserted into
the SD card slot.
The program files must be in the main directory of the SD card and have the name
Pxxx.prg. Here xxx stands for the consecutive three-digit program number starting
with 001.
Create programs
For the ArtNet Player X the program files can be created by the software DMX-
Configurator, alternatively TPM2 or TMP2.NET files can also be used.
The current version of the DMX configurator is available as a free download on our
website.
The procedure for creating the programs can be found in the instructions for the DMX
configurator.
After the programs have been created, the export must be carried out in the
Project→Export→ArtNet Player X menu.
See the instructions for the ArtNet Player X and the DMX configurator for
further details
