Hello,
I had a elation/adj device once that required the reuseArtNetPort option:
There are some devices out there that are very picky and follow the Art-Net Protocol Standard very strictly. That means that they want the packages to come from a very specific port. You can force PB into using that port for "stubborn" devices using the tweak config file:
Head to C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\coolux\Pandoras Box V5 .....\data\config\ and edit the tweak_config.txt
Find the line that says "reuseArtNetPort=0" and change it to "reuseArtNetPort=2" if you are using the matrix patcher or "reuseArtNetPort=1" if you are using DMX devices from the Device Types Tab.
The same option exists in the Widget Designer, I think it is in the connection manager window.
Hint1: If you are using the ArtNet Monitor in the Widget Designer, then you have to enable Art-Net input in the Connection Manager. If you start the Art-Net monitor from PB or from the menu then you don't need to do that.
Hint2: Make sure that the Firewall and also the Microsoft Windows Defender => Real Time Scan are turned off!
Hint3: If you are using the 2.x.x.x range, make sure that you do not have an internet connection on this machine. This can cause routing problems. A common mistake is to have a WiFi adapter enabled with internet connectivity.
