1 RJ45 connector (10/100 Mbps)

Static or Dynamic (DHCP) IP configuration (DHCP

by default)

Basic Setup

Right out of the box, the ODE Mk2 is factory configured to be

a DMX OUTPUT device, listening to the first Art-Net Universe

(0x00). It is also set as a DHCP node, so you can plug it into

your existing router, and it's good to go.

To make any changes to the configuration, you will need the

IP address of ODE Mk2.

If you connect ODE to a network router, it will be assigned

an IP address as per the router’s DHCP addressing. However,

if you connect ODE to a switch or a computer, it will use the

factory set static IP address (printed on the box).

ENTTEC provides a free App (available for Windows and Mac)

called NMU, which will find the ODE on your network and

display its IP address.

Using the IP address one can access the built-in web-inter-

face inside the ODE via any modern web-browser. The web-

interface allows the settings of the unit to be changed.

NMU

NMU (Node Management Utility) is a free Windows and Mac

application that is used to manage compatible ENTTEC

DMX over Ethernet nodes.

NMU will help you find your unit's IP address and then

open a browser window to access the web-interface.

Please follow these steps:

1. Download NMU from /nmu

2. Ensure that your ODE Mk2 is hooked up physically

by an Ethernet cable.

3. And connected to the same physical network (or

router) as the computer on which you will run

NMU.

4. Open NMU. If prompted with multiple networks,

select the correct network. (identified by the IP ad-

dress of your computer on that network)

5. Press the Discovery button, and wait till NMU finds

all supported ENTTEC devices on your network.

LED Status

The ODE Mk2 comes with four LED indicators located

between the DC power jack and the RJ45 connector.

1. STAT (Status): Blinks to indicate the following:

Frequency

0.5 Hz

1 Hz

2 Hz

Always on

25 Hz

Status

Normal

DMX Port Receive

DMX Port Send

Error

2. DIR (Port Direction): The LED will be ON when

the DMX port is in Output mode, and OFF when

the DMX port is in input mode.

3. LINK: This LED will be ON when there is an

Ethernet Link.

browser.

To change any of the displayed settings, you must use the

Settings page.

Network Settings

Node name is used to identify the ODE on the network. Any

meaningful name can be used.

DHCP is enabled by default. When enabled, the router on

your network is expected to automatically provide the IP

address to the ODE. If no DHCP router/server is present on

the network, the manual IP address will be used.

If for some reason, your unit does not get an IP address via

DHCP, please restart the ODE with the Ethernet cable con-

nected. It will listen for DHCP on start-up and wait for a few

seconds, before giving up.

IP Address and Netmask are only used if DHCP is disabled

or is unavailable on your network. ODE web-page will warn

you, if non-standard IP address or netmask is used.

If ever you manage to use an IP Address that can't be con-

nected to later, please perform the reset procedure (as de-

scribed later). The reset will re-enable DHCP on ODE.

Web Configuration

The ODE Mk2 can be configured and controlled through a

web browser, running on a computer system, located on

the same Local Area Network. Any modern web browser,

such as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or

Opera, running under any operating system, including

Windows 7/8, Mac OS X or Linux can be used.

Input Send Mode: allows you to pick either broadcasting or

a specified unicast IP address. Broadcast address is based

on the subnet mask shown.

Art-Net Address: Net and Subnet can be selected here, and

comply with Art-Net 3 protocol. Universe can be selected

from the DMX Port Settings.

sACN CID: The current CID for ODE is displayed here, and will

be use in all sACN communication.

Refresh Rate

The rate at which ODE will output the Data from DMX port

(40 Frames per second is default). It will repeat the last

received LAN frame to comply with DMX standard. How-

ever, if you do not want to repeat the last frame use “fol-

low source” as the refresh rate. This option will match the

rate at which the source sends at.

To save all the changes made, please click on Save Settings

and wait for ODE to confirm (takes up-to 5 seconds). Once

confirmed you will be taken to the home-page.

Reset to defaults, will put all the settings back to their de-

fault values (network & port settings). ODE will be reset to

Factory condition.

Reboot – will restart the ODE. Please allow a few seconds,

and the page will refresh, when ODE is ready.

Merging Support

Merging option is only available when port is set to Out-

put. Any incoming DMX on the same universe, but from

different IP addresses is treated as a separate DMX

source.

Available Merging options:

• Disabled: only one source should be sending to

the DMX output. Using multiple sources will

cause a conflict and the output might have unex-

pected data.

HTP Merge (by default): Highest Takes Prece-

dence. Channels are compared one to one and

the highest value is set on the output. Merging is

limited to two sources, any additional sources

will be ignored by ODE. If either one of the 2

sources of DMX stop, the failed source is held in

the merge buffer for 4 seconds. If, during the 4

second timeout, the failed source returns, Merg-

ing continues.

LTP Merge: Latest Takes Precedence. The latest

source is used as the output. The source that

hasn’t been received for 4 seconds or more, will

be discarded.

Merging conflict: if more than two sources are

sending data to ODE on the same universe, ODE

will indicate a conflict. A warning will be dis-

played on the home-page, and it’s also indicated

by the status led blinking faster than normal.

NOTE:

• 2 or more sources sent from the same IP will

lead to flicker

• Supports merging from 2 separate sources

only

Update Firmware

From this page you can update ODE to the latest firmware.

Latest firmware file is available at /ode.

Please use the correct firmware file.

•

•

•

Choose or browse the firmware file (as per your browser)

and click on Update firmware to start the process. The up-

date progress is shown in real-time, and will take a few sec-

onds for the update to complete

When the update is complete, the page will refresh and you

will be taken to the home page – where you can verify the

firmware version. If the update fails for any reason, please

try the same process again.

ODE will reboot after a firmware update, please allow a few

seconds for it to be refreshed in the browser. Please wait

until the update process is complete.

Unicast option

Send DMX to a single IP address rather than broadcast.

Unicast is only available when port is set to Input. Any

valid IP address can be used to Unicast DMX.

Art-Net Send Test

NMU can also be used to troubleshoot the DMX output

on your ODE. Art-Net Test can be accessed from the top

menu: Art-net → Art-net Test

When first opened, the Art-Net is set to Disabled, please

set it to Enabled, and then you can use either the DMX

faders to test one or more DMX channels, or use the test-

patterns from the options available.

Please set the ODE to be Art-Net output and on the same

universe as being used to send Art-Net from NMU.
