From wiki.openlighting.org
Using LLA
LLA is a utility that can connect applications and hardware with each other and route DMX data between them. It can use different protocols, including some that can be used for connections over tcp/ip.
LLA is a deamen and some small apps that uses it. The deamon llad must be started as root.
How to make an interface ready to use
Before an interface (e.g. a USB dongle) can be used, a port on a device must be patched (assigned) to a universe.
First you can use the command lla_dev_info to look up which number the desired interface and port has.
Then the command lla_patch can be given the numbers just found and the desired universe, so they get connected.
Finally the setup can be tested with lla_dmxconsole or lla_dmxmonitor to set or receive DMX values.
Command line options can be seen here.
