Merge Modes
HTP
Connects both slots. If both slots are active, the slot which values are higher takes precedence.
LTP
Uses both slots. If both slots are active, the slot which values were modified the last takes precedence.
1-Only
Only uses Slot 1.
Only-2
Only uses Slot 2.
1-Over-2
Connects both slots. However, Slot 1 has the higher priority. That is, in case there is a valid signal on Slot 1 (no matter the type), the NDP ignores the signal on Slot 2. If there is no signal on Slot 1 or if the NDP detects a faulty signal on Slot 1, the NDP automatically starts to use Slot 2.
To edit a slot, tap the button displayed below Data Slot 1 and Data Slot 2.

Hint:
-Subnet defines the upper 4bits of the Art-Net address. If you enter 0 in subnet, 1 is defined. If you enter 1, 2 is defined.
