RDM Use on Arena

I am using sACN along with ETC node on Arena
console. The node reports back RDM fixtures. The console displays no fixtures within the RDM tab. I have taken about everything out of the equation. Console has Ethernet cable plugged directly into the ETC Net3 gateway node. RDM is enabled on the node. DMX cable from the node into the fixture (MAC Aura). Node reports on display there is a single fixture connected. However, the console displays no fixtures within RDM tab (patch view). I have tried to discover RDM again and again without success. Suggestions? Feel free to tell me I am a fool, because....as I am new to RDM

Please and thank you

We currently implement RDM over Art-Net not over Streaming ACN. As I understand it the extension to ACN to support RDM, E1.33, also known as RDMnet, is still at the draft stage and as such aspects of it are still likely to change before it is finalised. As far as I can tell from the documentation ETC DMX/RDM Gateways use their own Net3 protocol (built on top of the ACN standard) to handle RDM information.
