User Manual

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an industry leading ETC Net3™ network device.
This manual will guide you through the setup of the hardware, electrical and data
connections of this Gateway. It does not cover any of the software modes and
configuration. This is covered separately and tied to the software versions that may be
running in these Gateways.
Please use the ETCNet2 NCE v4.1 User Manual which includes information about the Net3
DMX Gateways running in ETCNet2 mode.
For Net3 (ACN) configuration, please refer to the Gateway Configuration Editor (GCE) User
Manual.
Completely New, Totally Familiar
The Net3 Two Port Gateway is new from the ground up with strong family resemblance to
the Net3 Four Port Gateway. For that matter, the Two Port and the Four Port Gateways run
the same software and when in ETCNet2 mode, they are configured via NCE (Network
Configuration Editor).
