Two DIN Ethergate 2 port on one network

I am only able to talk to one Din Ethergate on the same network at a time...


My scenario is I have a Crestron processor using the sACN DirectSocketDriver with IP assigned to the two Din Ethergates. The port is the same for both 5568.


I'm assuming this is the problem because when I comment out one of the sACN modules in the Crestron Simpl program, then communication works for Din Ethergate 1


Likewise, if I comment out the other associated module then Din Ethergate 1 starts to work.


IF the port is the problem, are there other ports available in the Din Ethergate unit?

sACN uses port 5568 nothing else, you might want to check the setting of DIN Ethergate ports for both of them and that the senders also sends the same. You check them from DIN Ethergate settings if it populate 

Not sure I understand your reply...


If I send a signal to port 5568 at IP 172.29.12.52 it works.

If I disconnect it and send a signal to the second device 5568 at IP 172.29.12.53 that one works.


But, IF I plug both devices in, neither of them work... ie when I check the DMX output signals, on either device, neither of them work.


Its almost as if having two devices listening on the same 5568 port causes a conflict? is that possible?

You have to make sure that your sender sends the data to a specific node and those nodes has to listen to a specific universe. The 1st DIN Ethergate should be listening to universes 0 on port 1 and universe 1 on port 2, the 2nd DIN Ethergate should be listening to universes 2 on port 1 and universe 3 on port 2. The Video link below would best explain these settings.
