I'll just echo what others have said majid, and also point out IDENTIFY_MODE in E1.37-1 which would be a better way to control whether the DMX signal is ignored (in loud mode) or not.

A value of 0x00 represents a “Quiet Identify” mode. This would typically be used for flashing a front panel indicator or display to visually identify the device discretely in a show situation with an audience present.

A value of 0xFF represents a “Loud Identify” mode. This would typically be used for a highly visual indication such as strobing a lighting fixture or outputting fog in a non-show situation without an audience present.
