Here a DMX4All Stage-Profi Mk2 DMX Interface can be configured and connected.

Step 1 - Connect hardware and set Comm Port:

The DMX4All interface must be plugged into the computer.
The driver for the DMX4All interface must be installed (Windows: see www.DMX4All.de, Mac: FTDIUSBSerialDriverxxxx.dmg)

If the driver is installed and the device is plugged into the computer, all available ports are listed under Comm Port:


Under Windows:

CommPort.png   Refresh.pngupdates the list
The comm ports under Windows are COMx, where x is a number. For each USB device that communicates with the computer via a serial interface, a comm port is established. If several USB devices are available on the computer, several comm ports are also listed.
Either try the list or you look in the Windows Device Manager for the right port.


Under Mac OSX:
Since DMX4All does not offer its own driver for the interface, the FTDI driver (FTDIUSBSerialDriverxxxx.dmg) must be installed.
In the list of comm ports, locate the serial port
(tty.usbserial-xxxxxxxxxx).

Baudrate
The MK2 automatically selects internally 250000 baud.

Schritt 2 - Hardware connect


If everything is set, the DMX4All interface can be connected.
