If you receive the "request timed out" message, check your firewall settings. Remember, firewalls will block this connection, and Vision and Vista cannot communicate without a valid network environment. Once you are sure the physical connection is good, go back up to CONFIGURE THE NETWORK above, and verify your settings, then retest. Also, consider that you may have a bad cable. Check that the Ethernet cables are properly plugged into the computers and/or hub. If you get this second response, the two computers are NOT communicating with each other. If the connection is NOT available, the response will show that the request timed out, as shown here: If a valid connection exists, the response will appear as follows: Type ping, followed by a space and the IP address of the OTHER machine (either Mac or PC): In the Run dialog, type cmd in the Open line and click the OK button:Ī black DOS command window will open, allowing you to issue a Ping command.

NOTE: IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL THAT THE SUBNET MASKS ON THE Vision and Offline editor moachine ARE SET TO 255.255.255.0. What this means, is that you must establish a valid TCP/IP connection between the 2 computers for Artnet to work. To begin, make sure that the IP addresses assigned to the 2 computers are on the same subnet. NOTE: If running the nomad software and ESP Vision on the same PC, you must install a loopback adapter, a nice writeup can be found here This discussion is valid for the following configurations:ĮTC Offline Editor PC to Vision 2.3 PC (same machine or different machines) Since the ETC Offline Editor for MAC does NOT actually ouptut anything, this assumes that you are using the PC version of the offline Editor.
