Touchscreen Settings

On the touchscreen, navigate to Main Menu > Settings to access basic system settings, including the output protocol, timezone, and available software releases.

Tap a setting (or select it with the rotary knob) to change it in a popup. The top option with the X leaves the selection unchanged; the current selection is marked with a checkmark. Long-hold also cancels.

Web UI Settings

The Web UI exposes all settings, organized in the sidebar under Lighting Setup, Control & Integrations, and Device:

Page	Description
Lighting Setup > Outputs	DMX output universes and protocols — see Output Config
Lighting Setup > Protocol	Output frequency, merge mode, priorities, and end-of-data behavior
Lighting Setup > Fixtures	Fixture definitions — see Fixture Setup
Lighting Setup > Cue Fade Masks	Which DMX channels participate in cue fades — see Cues
Control & Integrations	Triggers, events, control surfaces, control values, OSC clients, MQTT, scripts, and plugins
Device > System	Timezone, location, language, device nickname, lock-down options, ports, audio (see below)
Device > Network	Per-adapter IP configuration — DHCP or static address, netmask, gateway (see below)
Device > Touchscreen	Backlight and front LED brightness, display dim/off timeouts, navigation behavior, on-screen display options
Device > Custom Menus	End-user menus — see Custom Menus
Device > Installer	Installation-specific settings and white-label branding

Device > System Highlights

• Timezone, Language and Region, and Location (below)
• Device Nickname and Show Name — displayed on-screen and in the portal
• Screen Unlock PIN and Lock Screen after X seconds — the touchscreen lock
• Lock-down options — lock down the device, show only the custom menu, only allow admins to record, allow stop output when locked down, hide fixture or remote control functionality
• Multi-Zone Playback — enables zones
• Enable Remote Access — the cloud tunnel
• OSC Port, Local HTTP/HTTPS Ports — network ports (changes require a restart)
• Audio Device and Sample Rate — output device for sound playback
• Fixed VNC Password — for VNC access to the touchscreen

Device Location

The Location (latitude, longitude) setting under Device > System tells the device where it is installed. It is used to calculate the local sunrise and sunset times for schedules. The calculation runs entirely on the device — no internet connection is needed.

Enter the coordinates as latitude and longitude separated by a comma, for example:

30.2672, -97.7431

Two easy ways to find your coordinates:

• Use the Find your coordinates link below the setting (latlong.net): search for your address and copy the values.
• In Google Maps, right-click your location on the map and click the coordinates at the top of the menu to copy them.

Coordinates only need to be approximate — being off by a few miles changes sunrise/sunset by well under a minute. Make sure the Timezone setting is also correct, since sun times are shown and evaluated in the device’s local time.

Device > Network

Device > Network lists the network adapters the DMX Core 100 has, one card per adapter. Each card shows the adapter name and its system interface name, a Connected / Not connected badge, and — when connected — the current IP address, whether it came from DHCP or is Static, and the gateway.

Under IP settings on each card:

• Use DHCP — on by default. The address is assigned by your network.
• Turn Use DHCP off to enter an IP address, Netmask and Gateway yourself, then press Apply.

IP settings can only be applied while the adapter is connected; on a disconnected adapter the Apply button is unavailable and the page says so.

Caution

Changing the IP settings of the adapter you are currently connected through will drop your connection to the Web UI. You will need to reconnect using the new address.

If a bad static configuration makes a unit unreachable, see Force DHCP mode.

Override Host Name, Custom NTP Server, and Enable Internet Passthrough (shows the Internet Passthrough section on the Utilities page) are not on this page — follow the network settings link at the bottom of it to reach them.

On the touchscreen the same per-adapter configuration is under Main Menu > Settings > Network Adapters….

If no Wi-Fi adapter is present

A DMX Core 100 with no wireless adapter shows an extra card reading No Wi-Fi adapter detected, below the wired adapter. This is informational — the card appears whenever the device has no wireless hardware, which is the normal state for a standard unit, and nothing on the page is broken or missing because of it. Wired configuration is unaffected.

NTP Time Synchronization

You can configure a custom NTP server for time synchronization, or sync the device time from your browser (useful when no NTP server is available on the network).
