2. Link the remaining fixtures in the data run by connecting a DMX data cable from the DMX
Thru connector on a fixture to the DMX In connector on the next fixture in the data run.
Note:
when installed in a daisy-chain fashion.

DMX Control and Ethernet Output

You can use DMX-512 control and Ethernet output. When a fixture is set up to receive DMX-512
control input, it converts the signal to Art-Net on IP10 and sends the signal to the Ethernet port,
continuing the Art-Net on IP10 signal to the next fixture in the control run.

Terminate DMX

Use a DMX terminator or install a resistor on the last fixture of the DMX control run to prevent
corruption (data reflection) of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
A DMX terminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3 that can
be installed into the DMX output receptacle of the last fixture in the DMX control run. This plug
is available and sold separately. Contact your authorized dealer or ETC for ordering information
(etcconnect.com/contactETC/).

Set the DMX Start Address

Give each fixture a unique DMX starting address so that the correct fixture responds to the
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to
"listen" to the digital control information sent out from the control source.
Modify the fixture DMX start address on the user interface, located on the upper enclosure. See
DMX Address on page 17
Example:
first fixture to 1, you could set the second fixture to 49 (48+1), the third to 97 (48+49),
and so on.
