Has anyone used the ARTNET6UN via E1.31 sACN Multicast with LOR?

ARTNET6UN supports ArtNet or E1.31 sACN, 6 Universes

 

 

 

 

I purchased the LOR software today, because the documentation says it supports E1.31 sACN Multicast. 

 

I went into LOR Network Preferences.

I checked E1.31

I checked Multicast (automatically assigned IP address)        239.255.0.1 Port 0

I added another one, it incremented the IP address by one   239.255.0.2 Port X

 

My device is set up as:

Universe 1   Port 0  2.0.0.2

Universe 2   Port 1  2.0.0.2

Universe 3   Port 2  2.0.0.2

Universe 4   Port 3  2.0.0.2

Universe 5   Port 4  2.0.0.3

Universe 6   Port 5  2.0.0.3

 

I am not sure if there is a work around with the LOR software for the IP addressing in multicast? Would Specify be an option?

I have used the ARTNET6UN with Xlights and it worked fine.  I think I used unicast and have only addressed the first 4 universes.  I am a newbie to LOR and this type of decorating but I would suggest trying unicast with static addressing (both devices on the same network) and make sure you can ping 6UN from your computer.
