How to use box webui:
The default IP of the box is 2.0.0.44, if you have not changed the box IP, you can browse http://2.0.0.44 enter the webui through the browser of any device, note, there is no s behind http, not https.
If you have changed the IP address, then browse the changed IP address, if you forget the IP, you can restore the box to factory settings through our special software.
How to use in MA2:
SL04 box natively supports MA2 with MA2-Net Protocols, MA2 version since Year2018 to now, how to do:
In SL04 Box Webui -> BOXSETUP -> MA2-Net, if disable, enable it, SL04 box out factory default is enable, if you don't use this feature, please disable it, can save MCU processing speed.
In MA2 software, press MA2 Setup->
1: MA Network Control -> Create Session ( Session ID=1 IP=127.0.0.1 or 2.0.0.1 / other property: don't care)
2: MA Network Configuration -> DMX Node -> Add, you will see two node of name hahan123.cxx devices, add it.
3: Network Protocols -> Art-Net -> Art-Net Output Active <- must do this active! then can out artnet data to SL04 box.
4: If not active output or press "Load Show" to load new show, and select "Check All", if lost any data, Artnet not output, can do this: In MA2 CMD input: Edit DmxUniverse 1 , when a windows pop then will actively output, only do once.
5: Check parameter: Setup -> Software Update -> Parameter count: 4096 <-you will see 4096 parameter unlock.
How to use other dmx software:
Any other software can download our plugin then can make a useful version, can supports more than 20 sets dmx software, like MA, madrix, sunlite, daslight, MagicQ, QLC+, VJ software..., how to do can see plugin directory's readme.
How to catch a offline dmx file:
In the offline of the Webui, you can capture a single universe port data or all port data, or DMXIN data for offline play. can press table head sort by dmx file property, drag and drop file to edit playlist, or test play file and download file.
Please note: that the TF card must be inserted into the box card slot before the box boots up, otherwise the TF card will not be initialized.
How to use RDM function:
Only PORT3 can supports RDM function, all the operations of RDM can be operated in the webui, so without installing any additional software, can supports all system with web browse, include mobile phone. SL04 box RDM find device no number limit can get all device in line, and can changed device property, like identify device, change address and mode etc. all device information can download in a excel file.
How to use DMXin function:
Only PORT3 can support DMXin function, You can enable dmxin to artnet, receive external lighting console data, connect to 3D software on your computer, or control software like madrix or MA2, or through DMXin-Call play offline file.
It is also possible to display the DMX data of each port in real time, which is very convenient for us to analyze the dmx data.
SL04 box out factory Dmxin to artnet feature default is disable, if you don't use this feature, please disable it, can save MCU processing speed.
How to detect and analyze your DMX system through SL04 box:
1: Because Artnet is sent to the network through broadcast, the SL04 box can easily capture data on the network, and with the DMXin function, the dmx value of each universe can be displayed in color, so it is convenient to analyze the changes in the data of each channel.
2: You can connect the DMX cable output from the consoler to the DMXin of the SL04 box, and intercept the data for analysis through the routing function of the SL04 box.
How to clone your light show:
In offline function can easily capture dmx data on the network or through DMXin, and save a dmx file, play this file is clone by your light show.
How to clone light show through DMXin and call by RS485-Call or DMXin_Call:
Because DMXin and RS485-Call are the same port, when capturing DMXin, you need to route the DMXin data to the output of other ports, and after the capture is completed, the DMXin function is switched to RS485-Call function, then you can call and play this offline file through RS485-Call, or can use DMXin_Call play offline dmx file.
How to for secondary development:
There are many ways of secondary development, you can do secondary development through UDP, HTTP, Web page, RS485-Call, DMXin-Call, DMXout-Call, can vist Tools page, technology support please contact us.
