Web Server
To configure Gateway 8 via the internal web-server, either type in the IP address of the product or, if your web-browser supports NetBios, type “zero88gateway8/".
To find the IP address, use DMX-Workshop.

The IP settings for the product are displayed in the top section of the screen. The Edit control allows the static IP, subnet mask and gateway to be configured. DHCP operation can be selected via DMX-Workshop.
The indicator meanings are as follows:

- Power: Green = powered; Flashing green = Identify; Red = Fault
- Net: Yellow = Link; Green = Art-Net or sACN activity

The settings for each DMX port can be configured via the web-browser using the following columns:
- Port: The DMX port number
