CONFIGURATION
Software Initialization
The Node Plus requires different software to run in each type of system/mode configuration. For the Node Plus, the
currently loaded software is shown at the top of the main menu screen. It will indicate either "Virtuoso Node", "Vx76
Node", or "Series 400 Node" as shown in the example below.
The Virtuoso and Vx76 consoles will automatically update the Node
software when it is connected to the system. However, when used
with Art-Net, the Node software must be loaded with Series 400
software.
The Series 400 software should always be loaded in the shop. This
can be accomplished by one of three methods:
+
Series 400 Menu Loader (Breaker Module). Refer to the Series
400 System User manual for instructions.
+
S400 Tools Application (S400Loader). Refer to the Series 400
Tools User manual for instructions.
+
Stand-Alone Loader (VirtuosoLoader). Refer to
CAUTION!
Since the Virtuoso and Vx76 systems will update the Node software automatically, be careful not to
connect a Series 400 loaded Node to a console network or else the Series 400 software will be replaced!
The Series 400 software version that is currently loaded in the Node Plus
can be checked at any time by accessing the "Information" screen in the
menu display. An example Information screen is shown at the right:
