QUATTRO Manual 

November 2018 

Front Panel Display 

The front panel controls of the QUATTRO allow the user to configure properties of 
the gateway. Current settings are displayed on the LCD screen. 

The  rotary  knob  will  scroll  the  screen  between  base  gateway  information  and 
properties of each port. When pushed, the knob acts as a selector. 

By default, the LCD display shows the gateway name, or soft label, its IP address 
and subnet class. At the bottom of the display, a flashing “N” will appear when the 
QUATTRO detects it is connected to a network via the rear-panel Ethercon® port. 

 

 

 

If  no  soft-label  name  has  been  assigned  to  the  gateway,  the  IP  address  will  be 
shown on the top line as well as the middle. The subnet class, shown after the IP 
on  the  middle  line,  will  be  “/8”,  “/16”  or  ”24”  which  are,  respectively,  a  Class  A 
subnet mask of 255.0.0.0, a Class B subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, and a Class C 
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. 

From the default display, turn the knob to scroll through the Port status screens. A 
typical  port  status  screen  shows  the  port  name  or  soft  label,  the  port  letter  and 
universe patch name, and its DMX status and port direction. 

 

 

 

If no soft-label name has been assigned, “Port <letter>” will be displayed instead.  

<Gateway Name> 

IP: x.x.x.x/<class> 

 

<Port Name> 

Port x: <patch name> 

Status:<state><direction>
