How to connect the Long-Range?

To connect the Long-Range controller, follow these steps:

• Connect the controller to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector or PoE switch to power it up.
• Ensure there's a functioning IP network between the controller and your computer.
• Use the ProtoPixel Mapping Tool software to locate and connect to the controller.
• Open the "Devices" tab in the Mapping Tool software.
• The Long-Range controllers should appear in the list.
• Click on a controller to access its configuration page.

Alternatively, you can connect through a Node:

• Make sure there's a working Ethernet IP network between the controller, the node, and your computer.
• Open the "Devices" tab in the web interface of the Node.
• Click on the Long-Range controller to access its configuration page.

For the network configuration, note that by default the controller uses DHCP network mode and it’s IP address range is 192.168.133.XXX, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

If you need to set a manual IP, you can use the following configuration as a guide:

• IP: 192.168.133.55 (adjust the last digits if needed)
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

👆🏼 Remember to connect the receivers to the controller for accessing the fixtures. The distance between the controller and receiver can be up to 300 meters using a twisted pair cable. 👆🏼
