Installation Guidelines
The Net-X II is used as part of a control system for operating various lighting and multi-media products.
The physical and digital construction of the control network is determined by the location and signal needs
of the products.
When designing a control system that uses the Net-X II, consider the following:
•
Placing the Net-X II so the menu and ports can be accessed
•
Running the cables so there is no tension or pull on the cables or plugs
•
Planning a large control system carefully before configuring the components, so IP address, DMX
address, and other identifiers are not duplicated
Signal Connections
The Net-X II receives signal though 2 DMX In ports and one of 2 Neutrik® etherCON® ports. It sends
signal out through 8 DMX Out ports and the other Neutrik® etherCON® port.
Art-Net™ Connection
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP to transfer a large amount of DMX512 data using an
etherCON® RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is available from
www.chauvetprofessional.com. Art-Net™ designed by and copyright Artistic Licence Holdings Ltd.
sACN Connection
Also known as ANSI E1.31, streaming ACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting of
Architecture for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any other ACN compatible network.
ACN is maintained by the Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA).
