Basic Setup

Right out of the box, the ODE Mk2 is factory configured to
be a DMX OUTPUT device, listening to the first Art-Net Uni­verse (0x00). It is also set as a DHCP node, so you can plug
it into your existing router, and it's good to go.

To make any changes to the configuration, you will need the
IP address of ODE Mk2.

If you connect ODE to a network router, it will be assigned
an IP address as per the router’s DHCP addressing. However,
if you connect ODE to a switch or a computer, it will use the
factory set static IP address (printed on the box).

ENTTEC provides a free App (available for Windows and Mac)
called NMU, which will find the ODE on your network and
display its IP address.

Using the IP address one can access the built-in web-inter­face inside the ODE via any modern web-browser. The web­interface allows the settings of the unit to be changed.

Once setup, any Art-Net/sACN/ESP enabled software/app
or a lighting control/desk can be used to send DMX out of
the ODE. For a list of recommended apps, please check the
website www.enttec.com/ode

LED Status

The ODE Mk2 comes with four LED indicators located
between the DC power jack and the RJ45 connector.

1. STAT (Status): Blinks to indicate the following:

• Blinks once per second: normal operation

• Blinks more than once a second: multiple

sources detected, or requires firmware.

2. DIR (Port Direction): The LED will be ON when

the DMX port is in Output mode, and OFF when
the DMX port is in input mode.

3. LINK: This LED will be ON when there is an

Ethernet Link.

4. ACT: This LED blinks when there is activity on the

Ethernet network.

NMU

NMU (Node Management Utility) is a free Windows and
Mac application that is used to manage compatible
ENTTEC DMX over Ethernet nodes.

NMU will help you find your unit's IP address and then
open a browser window to access the web-interface.

Please follow these steps:

1. Download NMU from www.enttec.com/nmu

2. Ensure that your ODE Mk2 is hooked up physi-

cally by an Ethernet cable.

3. And connected to the same physical network

(or router) as the computer on which you will
run NMU.

4. Open NMU. If prompted with multiple networks,

select the correct network. (identified by the IP
address of your computer on that network)

5. Press the Discovery button, and wait till NMU

finds all supported ENTTEC devices on your
network.

6. Once found, select ODE and use the IP address to

access the web-interface via your web browser.

Web Configuration

The ODE Mk2 can be configured and controlled through a
web browser, running on a computer system, located on the
same Local Area Network. Any modern web browser, such
as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera, run­ning under any operating system, including Windows 7/8,
Mac OS X or Linux can be used.

Either click on the underlined url displayed, or type the IP
address (as detected by NMU) into your web browser to ac­cess the ODE Web Interface. The left side menu allows all
