Set Device Network Mode Dialog

This dialog displays the current mode of operation, device name, IP Address , device type, software application version and CID of all online Net3 devices, including Net3 devices that operate in either ACN or Net2 mode. This dialog provides additional controls which allow the user to send a command to one or more selected nodes; telling them to switch between ACN and Net2 mode.

Only certain Net3 DMX/RDM gateways have the ability to switch between ETCNet2 and Net3 operational modes.

Network devices that can switch between the two operational modes include:

Net3 Four-Port DMX Gateway
Net3 Two-Port DMX Gateway
Net3 One-Port DMX Gateway

Network devices that cannot switch operational modes includes:

Net3 Show Control Gateway (Net3 only)
Net3 I/O Gateway (Net3 only)
ETCNet2 DMX Nodes (ETCNet2 only)
ETCNet2 Video Node (ETCNet2 only)

When a device has been selected for operational mode change that it cannot operate in, a dialog displays confirming that those devices will ignore the message. The remaining selected and qualifying devices will complete the process as expected.

If no specific devices are selected, a dialog displays requesting action if you want to change the mode of all devices in the list.
