1. Introduction - Page 3 Introduction Zero Wire DMX is designed to allow users to construct a wireless DMX network and enable the use of DMX devices where DMX over wire is not possible. Zero Wire DMX is designed to allow people everywhere to use IEEE standard of 802.11 Wireless Ethernet as a transport mechanism for USITT DMX 512. -

RS232 Programming Cable Overview: • Zero Wire DMX Box: A device that takes in USITT DMX 512 and converts the data into IP (Internet Protocol) packets embedded within Ethernet Frames for delivery across a wireless Ethernet system. One box is configured to act as an encoder and one as a decoder. To enable the system to work from the box the following steps need to be followed: •... -

The options are defined below: IP Address This is the units IP address. One of the benefits of the Zero Wire DMX system is that it uses full IP addresses which allowing the routing of the DMX data across all kinds of networks both switched and unswitched. -

It is possible that X can be configured to something other than 1, but the default is 1 and we strongly recommend that you keep with this unless there are good reasons to change. Only Advanced users should ever change the value of X 192.168.1.255 is a reserved address and as such should never be used as an IP address of... -

This ability to change channels during the show and ‘on the fly’ is one of the great advantages of the Zero Wire DMX system above other similar systems and above traditional older wireless systems. - Page 9 3. Working with a WAP - Page 9 A final note on changing the channels. Although channels 1 and 2 are numerically different the physical frequencies which they represent overlap. Depending on which other wireless networks are in use in the local area, you may need to reconfigure the units to respond to different channels.

If a cable can be run safely then this will inherently be more secure than any wireless system, however if there is the risk of damage to the cable or running it is impossible then the Zero Wire DMX system gives you a highly secure system. -
