Overview
This Installation Guide will lead you through the setup of the Net3 Two-Port DMX/RDM gateway including
hardware, electrical and data connections. Software configuration of your gateway is covered separately
and relates specifically to the software versions that may be running in the gateway.
• For Net3 configuration, please refer to the Gateway Configuration Editor (GCE) Online Help System.
• For use on ETCNet2 systems, use the ETCNet2 Network Configuration Editor (NCE) User Manual which includes
info
rmation about the Net3 DMX gateways running in ETCNet2 mode.
Installation Requirements
• Installation location - the Two-Port gateway fits into an industry standard 2-gang deep back box (provided by others) or surface-mount back box
(available by ETC).
• Power - can be powered by either Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) or by use of an external dc power supply. Power consumption is less
than 5 Watts.
• For Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af), connect to the RJ45 receptacle on the rear panel of the gateway. This connection point supports PoE,
auto-sensing, auto-negotiation and 10/100Mbps data speeds. All Ethernet wiring must comply with IEEE 802.3 and be terminated to the T568B
standard.
• For DC power input (external power supply 8-28 Vdc), connect to the two pin pluggable header provided on the rear panel of the gateway.
• An optional Universal Power Supply (ETC part number PS313-F) 90-240V AC to 12 Vdc @ 1.3 A is available for use with portable and rack mount
gateways. Contact your ETC Customer Service Representative for detail
s.
• Network Data and DMX - the Two-Port gateway complies with 802.3i for 10BASE-T, 802.3u for 100BASE-TX and 802.3af for Power over Ethernet
specifications. Data transport utilizes the TCP/IP suite of protocols and distributes DMX over Ethernet to any input/output device.
• Ethernet is connected to the RJ45 connector on the rear panel of the unit.
• The Two-Port gateway is capable of supporting 1024 DMX In or DMX Out channels utilizing the two built-in DMX ports. The DMX ports can be
either two XLR-5pin Male DMX inp
ut connectors or two XLR-5pin Female output connectors. Termination switches are provided on the rear panel
for user convenience. See page 2 of this document for more information on DMX and termination switches.
