At least one interface is required for transmission. | | `net` | `0` | `0` | The default net to use | #### Instance configuration | Option | Example value | Default value | Description | |---------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| | `net` | `0` | `0` | ArtNet `net` to use | | `universe` | `0` | `0` | Universe identifier | | `destination` | `10.2.2.2` | none | Destination address for sent ArtNet frames.

Channel indices start at 1 and end at 512. Example mapping: ``` net1.231 < net2.123 ``` A 16-bit channel (spanning any two normal 8-bit channels in the same universe, also called a wide channel) may be mapped with the syntax ``` net1.1+2 > net2.5+123 ``` A normal channel that is part of a wide channel can not be mapped individually. #### Known bugs / problems
