Setting for Wired and Wireless DMX Control

1. Turn on and reset your fixtures through the fixture's LED display. 

2. Open your Astera App.

3. Add a Bluetooth Bridge. 

   a.    Tap the 3 Lines on the top right of the app. 
   b.    Tap the message at the top of the screen that says THERE ARE NO BLUETOOTH BRIDGES. TAP HERE TO ADD SOME.  
   c.    Select the option to add an AsteraBox. 
   d.    Turn on your AsteraBox. The blue APP indicator light should be blinking.  
   e.    Press Yes on the App’s pop-up menu and a bridge should populate on the screen.
   f.    Choose to bond with your device, verifying your AsteraBox and finding its pairing pin on its back. 
   g.    The AsteraBox will now appear under My Bridges.

4. Change your radio pin from 0000 and remember your pin when setting multiple AsteraBox wireless zones. 

   a.    Press Radio PIN XXXX under the AsteraBox status bar.
   b.    Set a new 4-digit value in the pop-up window and tap OK.  

5. Pair your lights through the app. 

   a.    On each fixture, hold down the power button until it flashes blue, indicating that it is in pairing mode. This can be done while lights are still in their case. 
   b.    Tap Pair with Lights under the AsteraBox status bar.  
   c.    The app will show a status bar while it searches for fixtures to pair with. This bar indicates a pre-determined set of time, not the completed pairing of all devices, so you may need to run Pair with Lights multiple times. 
   d.    If lights do not pair, unbond Bluetooth through the onboard display and try again.
   e.    Your lights will populate in the Lights List page.

6. Set your battery settings/brightness. 

   a.    Tap the 3 Lines on the top right of the app. 
   b.    Scroll down to and choose Minimum Runtime.
   c.    In the drop-down menu, scroll left and right to choose your minimum runtime. 
   d.    MAX indicates maximum brightness, therefore less runtime.

7. Configure DMX settings for all fixtures. 

   a.    Select the Lights List tab, then select all of your fixtures. 
   b.    Tap the magic wand icon, which will appear at the top of your screen. 
   c.    On the All Lights menu, set your DMX profile by selecting the amount of pixels you want to control, strobe settings, and opening the Table.
   d.    You will be able to choose a specific profile through the table, such as RGB.RGBS or D16 X Y. There are 195 fixture modes, so be sure that your console has the mode you are looking for.  
   e.    Next, either set a single address for all of your fixtures or choose Auto Address and choose a starting address. 
   f.    Lastly, select AUTO to open a drop-down menu and choose your control method. For wired DMX control (even over Art-Net), choose XLR. For wireless DMX control, choose CRMX.

Final steps if using wireless DMX (CRMX):

a.    Connect the AsteraBox to your console using the included adapter cable, then tap the green button on the top of your AsteraBox. Link should start flashing on the AsteraBox. 
b.    Signal strength can be monitored by the app on the Lights List page.  

Final steps if using wired DMX through Art-Net: 

a.    Switch IP addresses with the only button. The indicator light will display which IP address the PowerBox is on. 
b.    Change universes on the Powerbox by holding the button down for more than 3 seconds. The indicator light will blink blue. The amount of consecutive blinks indicates the universe number (1-16).
