2. In Ethernet Protocol, choose the control protocol, sACN or Art-Net, or allow Sidus Four to automatically detect the protocol present.

Best Practice does not recommend using sACN and Art-Net on the same unmanaged network.

3. In IP Mode Settings, choose how the Sidus Four's IP is to be determined. Choose "Auto(DHCP)" to allow the network DHCP Server to automatically populate Sidus Four's IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP. Choose "Static" to enter the information manually. 

There must be a DHCP Server on the network for the IP information to auto-populate when selecting "DHCP".

2. Just like Ethernet Control Protocols, Wi-Fi also supports choosing between sACN, Art-Net, or automatic detection.

Best practice does not recommended using sACN and Art-Net on the same unmanaged network.

3. Wi-Fi connection modes: AP mode (wireless access point) and STA mode (station).

AP Mode: When set to AP mode, the Sidus Four's Wi-Fi will act as a wireless access point and acts as the DHCP Server in the network.

STA Mode: When set to STA mode, the Sidus Four will act as a workstation to communicate with other devices, such as a wireless router or a Sidus Four in AP mode.

4. Since Sidus Four Wi-Fi Mode can act as an AP or STA, the SSID (wireless network name) and Wi-Fi password settings are specific to those Wi-Fi modes.

When Wi-Fi is in AP Mode, then the SSID and Password refer to the wireless network other devices need to connect to in order to communicate with this Sidus Four. Both the SSID and Password are editable in the Wi-Fi Settings interface.

sidus_four_wifi_password

When Wi-Fi is in STA Mode, the SSID (wireless network name) refers to the network for the Sidus Four to join. Under Password, Enter in the network password of the router.
