The NX DMX draws its power from the connected computer via USB. If you use a USB hub, it must be
powered. The host PC will fail to recognize a NX DMX device that is connected via an unpowered USB
hub.
When the NX DMX is connected for the first time to a computer running ONYX software, a driver will
be installed on the computer. As soon as the driver is loaded on the computer and initialized, the NX
DMX is ready for use.

Connect fixtures to one or both of the DMX ports of the NX DMX device using DMX cable and standard
DMX 512A pinout. Do not use microphone cable.
Use a DMX termination plug on the last fixture on the DMX link.
Damage to the NX DMX device or to the connected computer due to faulty DMX wiring is not covered
by the product warranty.
