Wall Mount Installation

For surface mount applications ETC recommends the use of an ETC 1 gang surface mount backbox
(part# 1064A1037). For flush mount applications, ETC recommends the use of RACO #690 backbox or
equivalent (provided by others).
Termin ating Cat5 Cable
Terminate Cat5 wiring with the included Category 5 connector (a two piece female RJ45 assembly with
a base unit and a cap) that is supplied in the kit with your gateway. The cap has colored marking on one
end to indicate where to insert each of the cable's color-coded wires. Use the T568/B wiring scheme, as
illustrated on the cap label, for compatibility with the ETC network wiring convention.

Follow standard Cat5 installation procedures to remove the end of the cable jacket and
expose the conductors.
Untwist the conductors and insert them into the connector cap according to the T568/B
color-coded label. The cable jacket should come close to the edge of the connector with
as little of the conductors visible as possible.
Press the cap firmly on the connector base until the two pieces snap together. Be sure not
to break the plastic while applying pressure.
Use the supplied double-sided sticky tape to secure the connector to the inside of your
backbox.

• NET/Power – an illuminated blue LED indicates power and network
connection. Flashing indicates active data is being transmitted and
received.
• DMX– an illuminated green LED indicates a DMX connection with valid
data. For a DMX input port, a blinking LED indicates no active DMX is
present. For an output port, a blinking LED indicates no valid sACN or
EDMX data is present over the network.
Software configuration for the One Port DMX Gateway is completed using ETC
Network Configuration Editor (NCE) v4.3.0 (or newer) for Net3 and ETCNet2
systems.
