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. Although this is an
Locking RJ45 Ethernet connector, and the use of Locking RJ45 Ethernet cables is recommended, any
RJ45 connector is suitable.
To connect multiple EP4 units 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 EP4 for remote configuration via a web
browser. To access the web interface, simply enter the IP address in any web browser connected to the
device. Information about the web access can be found in the manual.
