4.4.2 System Settings

To function properly, some basic information is needed by the AI-512 software. This includes settings for the
DMX console, networking features, and geographic location. Not all of these settings may be necessary for
every installation.

DMX In Channel Count

If the DMX IN feature of the AI-512 is used to receive data from a DMX console, the DMX channel count
must be set to guarantee correct channel processing.

Most consoles transmit 512 channel levels in each DMX packet, and this is the default value for the AI-512.
Exceptions to this rule are the Leprecon LP-612 and LP-624. These control desks send out only 96 channels.
If the AI-512 is used with these controllers, be sure to set the channel count value to '96'.

If the AI-512 is used with a Leprecon LP-1500 series console, the desk should be set to output 512 channels.
To do this, patch dimmer 512 to board channel 1. Leave the AI-512 channel count set to 512.
