All DMX Output connections are 5pin female XLR; however, the pin – out on all sockets is pin 1 to
shield, pin 2 to cold ( – ), and pin 3 to hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 are not used.
Carefully connect DMX cables to the respective ports.
To prevent damaging the DMX ports, provide strain relief and support. Avoid connecting FOH
Snakes to the ports directly.
Certain functions may require adapters (purchased separately), such as a 5 pole XLR male to 5 pole
XLR male.

The Ethernet cable is connected on the back of the gateway into the port labeled A or B. Devices
can be daisy chained, but it is recommended not to exceed 10 Netron devices in one chain.
Because these devices use locking RJ45 connectors, and the use of locking RJ45 ethernet cables
is recommended, any RJ45 connector is suitable.
To connect multiple devices to an EtherDMX Source, an Ethernet switch is required to split the data
into the desired number of streams.
The Ethernet connection is also used to connect a computer to the Netron device for remote
configuration via a web browser. To access the web interface, simply enter the IP address shown
in the display in any web browser connected to the device. Information about the web access can
be found in the manual.
