Running Ethernet to Racks
Sensor3 racks use Ethernet for communication with each other and sometimes for communication
with the lighting console. It is therefore important that all racks are linked via Ethernet. This may either
be done using an NEFM (Network Electronics Filler Module - A network switch built into the lower slot
of one of the racks) or using an external network hub or switch.
Ethernet with a NEFM
If one of your racks is supplied with a NEFM, run a CAT5 cable from each rack to the rack with the
NEFM. You may make the connection either using prefabricated CAT5 network cables, or using CAT5
cable and the termination kits provided.
Ethernet with an External Network
If the system has an external network, connect each rack to the external hub or switch using CAT5
cable. A network termination kit is provided with each rack (in the door) for the Sensor3 rack. You may
need to provide termination at the network switch (e.g., a patch panel).
