Raspberry with QLC as an artnet ode

Hi,
I'm a bit new with QLC.
I have a raspberry with QLC and an Enttec DMX USB Pro Interface. This is working in my network.
Now I want to connect with my laptop with QLC to the raspberry.
I have configured the raspberry with input artnet and the ipadress of the raspberry and the output to dmx usb. The checkbox passtrough is enabled.

I don't see the ipadress of the rapberry (artnetnode) in the software of my laptop.

What am I doing wrong. Or doesn't work it this way?

Greet,
Mark

Network 101:
Are both your computer and your raspi on the same network?
Are both having (getting) a IP address in the same range? f.i. 10.0.0.x MASK 255.0.0.0
You have to verify the IP address on the raspi (looking at input/output tab).
You have to verify the IP address on your laptop.
Can one ping the other?
With a positive outcome of the ping, your devices are talking to each other now.

The next step will be configuring how Artnet communicates.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
I could ping the Pi in the network. It is in the range of 10.0.0.X
Would be the mask explicit 255.0.0.0?
That is a problem for my network enviroment, cause I;ve running multiple networks , etc.

No - you have the choice with what network addresses you work with. As long as they correspond, you will be able to 'talk' to the raspi.
(As a default depicted in the norm) Artnet preferably uses the 2. or the 10. range networks. These private networks have a netmask of 255.0.0.0.
Some (older) Artnet interface only listen to this network.
