Hey guys this is Martin again from SIRS-Electronics.
And today I am going to talk about how to control DMX lighting via and iPad or an iPhone.
We are going to be using the Luminair app you can find it on the App store.
That app is very popular because a lot of people enjoy that app because is so easy and
versatile to use.
You can create setting, presets, scenes and a bunch of cool stuff that you can customize
to your liking.
There are 3 key components that you will need for this setup.
That will be Wi-Fi router, Art-NET to DMX interface and an iPad.
We are going to start of showing you how to setup the LM3R physically.
How to connect the Ethernet cable and some switches and how the proper setting should
be at.
And this is the way you start off.
So basically you'll see on your LM3R there are 2 switches here on the bottom.
They have little arrows on them; make sure both arrows are pointing at zero.
Next thing you will want to do is connect your power supply, in this case I already
have it connected.
But just make sure it's connected to the wall you can plug it in here.
And if the light goes On that just means that it is working.
You are getting power.
Next thing you want to do is get an RJ45 Network cable.
One end goes to your LM3R.
The other end goes connected on your computer.
Once you have done that, that is pretty much all you do physically to the LM3R.
So here is the screen shot video of how to do the network settings on the LM3R Ok.
So once you have already follow the previews instructions on how to connect your Art-Net
cable.
And set your subnet universe settings to your proper setting I have just told you.
The next thing you want to do is actually configuring your LM3R so you can put it in
the same range as your IP address router.
So what you want to do is once you have downloaded the OSC oscillation application which is on
the manual of the LM3R.
You'll want to open that program up and then you go where it says view and view devices.
And you'll see there your LM3 Mk2. You select that.
And scroll down and you'll see IP 1 that is the IP address of the LM3R.
And that's the current IP address it is on.
So, make a note of that.
Write all that down somewhere.
And go ahead and close all this up.
Then you go to your control panel.
Then go to where it says "Your Network Status and Task" click on that.
Then you click here where it says "Local Area Connection" ok that is going to be your LM3R.
You go to properties.
Then you go to the Internet Protocol version 4 and you double click on that.
And generally your computer is going to be like this.
So then what you want to do is go to the user file IP address and select that.
And you want to input the IP address that your LM3R is on.
The last number like for example here we have 2.1.10.89 the last number you wanted to be
a digit above.
So we are going to set it to 90.
And you just click here on the subnet mask.
It will actually input your subnet automatically.
So just click Ok.
Click Ok.
Close.
And close all of these.
Now you open up an internet browser.
It shouldn't be connected to the internet or anything to your computer at this point.
So it is probably going to try to load it and is not going to do anything.
Here on top of the browser you are going to input the IP address of your LM3R.
I already have mine here so you just input it exactly as it shows.
You hit go like if you are going to a regular website.
And it is going to take you to the Home of the configuration utility of the LM3R.
Now what you want to do is the following.
And this is the most crucial step to get this to actually work.
You are want to change the IP address of the LM3R, which is here.
To that of the same of your IP router.
Usually routers have a sticker on the bottom that show you their IP address.
And it doesn't have to be the exact IP address, it could be within the same range just to
make it simple.
We are going to set it at the same IP address as the router.
So my router is 192.168.1.1
And if you actually go into your IP address settings.
Prior to doing this it will also show you the subnet.
In my case is at subnet 255.255.255.0 Make sure when you are doing this your router is
turn off and not connected to your computer.
Because if you do this while it is connected to your computer
You are going to have an IP address conflict and is going to cause some funny things.
So usually when you are setting up Luminair with the LM3R.
You don't want to use the same router you are using for your internet.
Usually is just to set it up separately.
You could do it the other way but this is just a little bit easier.
Once you've done that you click save settings.
And it is going to ask if you if you really want to do it.
You click Ok. Click Ok again. And then you click Ok here once again.
And it is going to try to load you back to the previews IP address but since it has been
changed.
It is not going to work. So it is just going to be spinning there so just go ahead and
close your browser.
Now what you want to do is go back to your oscillation 512.
Program.
Open that up.
And we are going to go to View.
And then we are going to go to devices you are going to select the device.
And this is just for testing purposes.
And we are going to make sure it actually changes it.
So if you look here it actually changed it to the 192.168.1.1 which is what we want.
So now that is actually been changed that is pretty much all there is to it.
And that is how you change your LM3R IP address.
So remember it has to be the same as your router and just go through.
All the steps I just showed you and that is pretty much how you do that part.
Ok guys so that was pretty much it as far as setting up.
The network settings on the LM3R I hope you all found this information helpful.
So please stay tuned for the next part of these video.
Which I am going to complete the whole process.
And get you guys working with your iPad and Luminair.
