Introduction
CR021R is standard Art-Net Node. Because of this, you can use the device with any application, console, or controller that supports Art-Net to distribute Art-Net data via Ethernet network. Commonly the CR021R can be used to extend the DMX output ports of tiger touch and MA2.

Table 2 – The steps for setting the parameters
The buttons operation steps for setting each Art-Net parameter, as follows:
| steps |
instruction |
| 1 | Press the [MENU] to choose and switch the parameter menu; |
| 2 | Press the [ENTER] to edit the parameter menu，(then Appears blinking cursor) |
| 3 | Press the [ENTER], can switch the specific parameter (the parameter at the blinking cursor wasthe one already choose) |
| 4 | Press [UP] or [DOWN]，can modify the current parameters; Long press [UP]or [DOWN] for 1S to quickly modify the current parameters |
| 5 | Long press the[ENTER] for more than 1S，system will save the modified parameters . If the info was wrong, it will not be saved, then press [ENTER] to clear the wrong info, also can enter the values follow the presentation and save again. |

| Menu item | LCD display the error info | The instruction for the error info |
| Set the local IP & subnet mask | !!Local IP: hosted can’t is 0!! | Local IP host number is not 0 |
| ! Local IP hosted can’t all is 1! | Local IP host number is not 1 | |
| Set the input route | !!Port Universe can’t be same!! | The different DMX input ports must be only |
| Set the transmit mode | “!!NO AD4 KEY!!” | Didn’t get to the correct encryption information |
Table 5 – Recommended network settings:
| IP Address | Subnet Mask |
Broadcast Address |
| 2.x.x.x | 255.0.0.0 | 2.255.255.255 |
| 10.x.x.x | 255.0.0.0 | 10. 255.255.255 |

Table 6 – Art-Net Network working conditions
| 1 | Network devices have the same subnet mask | 255.x.x.x |
| 2 | Network devices have the same network segment and unique IP address | 2.x.x.x 10.x.x.x 192.168.x.x |
| 3 | Correct port address: Net+Sub-Net+Universe | 000 + 00 + (0…15) |
| 4 | Network device has a unique MAC address | d-4d-48-c9-06-64 |
| 5 | Network equipment is used with crossed cable, router, switchboard, and connect multiple network devices | crossed cable, router |

Table 8 -Attention about setting parameters
|
NO. |
Menu item |
Pay attention to the items |
| 1 | Setting IP address | Each network set must have a unique IP address (not Other network equipment occupancy) and the same subnet mask, otherwise will cause the network does not work. |
| 2 | Setting subnet mask | The subnet mask is 255.x.y.z, do not need to modify x, y, z one by one, we provide the subnet mask from menu table, there are 23 subnet mask which may be used, select the subnet mask that you want to set code on it. |
| 3 | Setting port of subnet address | Each network (Net) of Art-Net includes 16 (universe) The range is 0-15. |
| 4 | Setting port of network address | Each network (Net) of Art-Net includes 256 route (universe), Settings range from 0-127, |
| 5 | Setting the NIC’s MAC address | Each network device have a network card, each card must have Unique MAC address d-00-22-a8-00-64, and the last 3 values of this card’s MAC address already have been binding with the last 3 values of IP address, can effectively prevent the collision about the MAC address. If there is NIC conflict, the user can modify the second, the third bytes of the MAC address. |
| 6 | default set | CR051R support default set, If you want to reset, all the parameters which have been kept before, will modify the original parameters, include the transmission mode , input mode also will be converted to output mode, and the network parameter, Port addresses will be initialized to default values. |
