Just to confirm, you have a DP8000 and not a DP2000 correct? DP2000 does not work. If it's a DP2000, you can set it to be an artnet output node, but that's about it.
From the current manual here https://www.highend.com/pub/support/controllers/documents/html/en/sect-updating_ob_software.htm
30.3 Updating the DMX Processor Software
Normally, updating the console software will also update the software of connected network processors. If necessary, you can update the software manually:
Setup → Network : open the Network window.
The network window will display a list of any connected DMX Processors who's softwae does not match the console software version under a heading titled "Upgradeable Nodes".
Right click on the DP you wish to upgrade and select "upgrade node".
If the console and network processor are running different software versions and the above procedure is not fully working or if the console is not recognizing the network processor on the network you can force the network processor to update its software at the DP:
Turn off the mains power to the network processor. Check that the DP is connected to the console's network and that the console's "Enable DHCP Server" and "Enable Boot Server" options are enabled in the network tab of the control panel.
Hold down the all three buttons on the network processor's front panel and apply power. The DP's display should now read "Forcing software reload".
The network processor will download its software from the console and reboot. The DP's net number and port number settings will be set back to defaults.
30.3.1 DMX Processor 8000 Reset Options
The keys on the front panel of the DMX Processor 8000 are used for standard menu navigation. However as the unit boots you can view specific boot information via a scroll bar. Once the DMX Processor 8000 is fully booted, it displays the standard menu. In addition the following reset options are available:
Hard Reset: to force a hard reset of the DMX Processor 8000, hold the middle and bottom buttons for four seconds (use the center and right buttons for older DP8000 units where the front panel buttons are laid out horizontally). Once the reset begins you will see I/O Board Disconnected on the display.
DMX Board Firmware Reload: to reload the DMX board firmware from the Processor's front panel, hold down any single button the DP8000 front panel as the unit is powered on. Once the process begins you will see the DP8000 Bootloader message on the display. After about one minute the firmware will be reloaded.
CPU Board Firmware Reload and Restore to Defaults: to reload the CPU board firmware hold down all three buttons on the front of the DP8000 as the unit is powered on. The DMX Processor 8000 will then reload its firmware from the network. Once the process begins you will see the Forcing Software Reload message on the display.
