The "anyone:4777" is the default setting and is already set, no need 
to change it, unless you want to receive only from a specific IP:port.

If you use the "Write" into buffer 254 (mixer), you write directly to 
DMX, unless a layer has active channels. You can also write directly 
into a layer, but the used channels must be activated (as with DMX 
input), so running a "null" cue will do.

If you turn on broadcast mixer, you will see the light channel values 
in MAX rx demo.

Uhh?  If you use only UDP writes, nothing needs to be filled in. If 
you want to receive any braodcasts, you must set the channel range 
e.g. 1-200, and optional different destination channels and layer 
number.

Yes you can still connect via TCP, so you can e.g. monitor the mixer 
buffer to see that with the TX demo values are coming in.

BTW What LanBox type and firmware version are you using?

The latest firmware is v2.09, LCedit+ 3.4.1 (beta), and MAX LanBox 
externals (universal) all ending in .mxo.

I hope this helps,
