Although my searches reveal nothing supporting nor denying my concern about this, I can't find the Chauvet DMX-AN2 listed as compatible hardware for QLC+ .
I'd perhaps naively assumed at the time that I ordered this device that it'd work. Should I cancel my order and go with something on the compatibility list, such as DMXking or such?
Thanks for your assistance with this issue!

As long as the device supports ArtNet and/or sACN, it is compatible (to the extent it is compatible to the ArtNet/sACN standards).

:) Thank you for your help and your good news!
I was concerned that the absence of a "device compatible" listing for a device from such a popular and large line of products meant that someone had determined that there were issues with it.
I now expect it to work fine, but if for some reason it doesn't, I will post that info.

Hi Bob, I hope you understand I cannot test all the available products on the market myself.
To be honest I'd expect the QLC+ community to help me enrich the hardware/software compatibility list.
It's easy: just write a post in these forums saying "I've tested product XYZ and it works".
Or if there are preliminary parameters to setup to make it work with QLC+, they can be shared in the community section.

Thanks

I am new to lighting and QLC+. I recently purchased a DMX-AN2 and downloaded QLC on my laptop. I connected the laptop to the dmx-an2 with an Ethernet cable, selected artnet output 2.0.0.5 in QLC... loaded some fixtures and it works. I'm excited to learn the program. My question if anyone can help is."... Can I hook up the dmx-an2 to a router? Can I connect to the router and use qlc wirelessly? It seems like there should be a way, but I don't know how to configure things if it's possible. I run audio wirelessly at a club... I'd like to run lights wirelessly also. Thank you
