Introduction The Net-IT takes what are currently two different boxes, a DMX-over-Ethernet Output Node, and a two-universe RDM Controller (IT Gateway), and combines them into a single box. Instead of wiring up to two different boxes and configuring each, this product will make this process easier, simpler and decrease failures points. The Net-IT PS-600 is three products in one as it adds the functionality of a Wybron PS-600 power supply for powering Wybron fixtures such as Coloram IT, CXI IT, and Eclipse IT.
Quick Start Guide The Net-IT ships with a default static IP address that is unique for each unit shipped. Upon powering the unit, you will see the default IP address and sub-net mask on the front panel backlit display. Press the front panel Page button to scroll through the information to find the IP address for the following procedure. The unit is factory configured to receive DMX over the Art-Net II Ethernet protocol and to output DMX Universe 0 out of Port A and DMX Universe 1 out of Port B.
byte of the IP address. When the Network Switch is in the OFF position the unit will use an IP address of 2.x.x.x. When the switch is on it will use an address of 10.x.x.x per the Art-Net standard. You can override this address convention by manually entering a full IP address. If you have already manually entered a full static address then the Network switch has no effect until a factory reset is done. 10. Connect the Net-IT to your working network with Art-Net or E1.31 sources or consoles.

Front and Back Panels See the diagram on the next page. The Net IT has one IEC universal power connector. There are two 5-pin XLR output ports located on the unit. These are labeled “Port A” & “Port B” and output DMX/RDM on two universes. The Net-IT PS-600 has six 4-pin XLR connectors for connecting Wybron products. They transfer Universe A data and 24 volt DC power. There is one Ethernet connector.

Changing most of the settings is done through the Net-IT web page.
Setting the DMX Universes On the web page go the DMX A or B Universe field and enter a universe number. Then click Submit. For Art-Net you may also select the DMX subnet and network switch. In Art-Net there are a possible 256 universes that are selected through 16 subnets which each contain 16 universes. So a unique combination of the subnet and universe numbers define what universe a port will transmit. More than one Net-IT can be configured to use the same unique universe. In E1.
Net-IT PS-600 Head-Feet Restrictions The HEAD-FEET parameter is a method of accounting for the voltage drop in the power/signal cable caused by the current drawn by each device. To help understand this issue, think of it as water pressure (voltage) in a hose (cable) where you have multiple water sprinkler heads (color changers). If the hose (cable) is too long or you have too many sprinkler heads (color changers), the water pressure (voltage) will be too low.

InfoTrace RDM System Overview The heart of the InfoTrace (IT) system is the Net-IT and InfoGate PC or Mac software — specialized hardware and software that uses the bi-directional communications protocol, Remote Device Management (RDM), to facilitate remote addressing and diagnostics for potentially every piece of equipment mounted on a rig. Net-IT works with all Wybron IT products and all RDM-compatible equipment from any manufacturer.
Troubleshooting Problem Net-IT will not connect to my Art-Net or E1.31 network. Solution On the Net-IT display, read the IP address and subnet mask. Verify what the IP address and subnet mask is of your network. If they are different, then connect the Net-IT directly to a PC or MAC with an Ethernet crossover cable. Set the PC or MAC IP address and subnet to match the Net-IT. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the Net-IT.
Problem Screen is frozen or the screen is showing an error message. Solution If you cannot scroll through the page feature then the software has been corrupted, call Wybron Tech support Recycle the power on the Net IT The user will need to re-flash the Net-IT software For questions concerning Net-IT and any other Wybron products please contact Tech support at 719-548-9774.
Cables Power/Data Cable The Power/Data Cable uses 4-pin XLR connectors on either end and consists of two 14 AWG conductors and a 22 AWG twisted, shielded pair. The shells of the two XLR connectors are not electrically connected together -- this prevents large power currents from flowing from chassis to chassis of the equipment. The twisted pair shield is connected at male XLR connector end only.
Appendix A - Definitions, acronyms and abbreviations ACN – the ESTA Architecture for Control Networks standard [ACN]. It specifies an architecture — including a suite of protocols and languages which may be configured and combined with other standard protocols in a number of ways to form flexible networked control systems. ANSI E1.17 Art-Net– an Ethernet & UDP based specification for transport of DMX and RDM data. Additionally, ArtNethas built in mechanisms for the control of video projectors.
Warranty Information WYBRON, INC. warrants to the original owner or retail customer that for a period of one year from date of delivery of a portable system or energization of a permanently installed system (up to a maximum of 18 months from delivery) its products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service.
