Enable/Disable sACN per-Channel (per-Address) Priority on Pathport Gateways

Issue

I want to Enable or Disable sACN Per-Channel Priority (sometimes also called sACN per-Address Priority) on Pathport® Gateways provided by ETC.

Explanation of Issue

Pathway's default configuration has sACN Per-Channel Priority disabled by default. ETC has enabled this feature for compatibility with ETC's more advanced networking features. To change this, Pathscape DMX Software | Pathway Connectivity is required. This setting must be enabled for Paradigm arbitration of multi-parameter fixtures to work properly.

Solution

The steps below are for reference only. For additional information or instruction on how to configure Pathport Gateways, please contact Technical Support | Pathway Connectivity

Login to the ETC Security Domain
Devices that have been configured for the ETC security domain will show the lock in amber and the "etc" name in the domain
1. Navigate to the Security menu and choose "Log in..."
2. Select the "etc" domain from the drop down menu if there is more than one domain present and enter the password "etc"
  1. Note: The number in parentheses following the domain name is the number of devices online in that security domain.
3. Click Finish
4. The padlock icon should turn green for devices in the "etc" security domain when successfully logged in
