Static IP address is mapped to the Serial number
of the unit (used if DHCP is unavailable).
For example, a Serial No. of 2176541 will have a
default Static IP address at 10.17.65.41 

Netmask is set to 255.0.0.0

starts blinking red.

Wait 3 seconds and cycle power

When first opened, the Art-Net is set to Disabled, please set
it to Enabled, and then you can use either the DMX faders to
test one or more DMX channels,  or use the test-patterns
from the options available. Please set the Ethergate Mk3 to
be output and on the same universe as being used to send
