ETHERNET TO DMX OPERATIONS
Please refer to the section MENU STRUCTURE contained in this document for detailed informations
This function allow a product receiving an ethernet signal protocol to re-transmit the incoming signal
onto a wired DMX line through its onboard XLR-out connector.
• An Ethernet protocol (Artnet, sACN or others available) has to be enabled from Ethernet menu
at first fixture. Please make sure that wireless receiver is switched to OFF if you use Ethernet
comunication.
• Enable the option Ethernet To DMX from the Ethernet menu at the first product (connected to the
Ethernet) in the signal chain, next products have standard DMX setting.
• Connect the Ethernet input of the first product in the data chain with the network. Connect the
DMX output of this product with the input of the next product until all products are connected to
the DMX chain.
• Caution: At the last product, the DMX chain has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω
resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a XLR-plug and connect it in the DMX-output of the
last product.

receiver" paragraph.
6. Enable TX LINK to ON to link transmitter to receivers (please note that TX LINK will be available only
if WDMX mode is set to Transmitter).
• The transmitter scans for all unlinked receivers for a period of about 5 seconds.
• If the connection fails, check the position of the receiver.
• The wireless icon on the receiver display indicates the received signal strength.
Unlinking the transmitter

IN TO WDMX
This function enable or disable the transmission throught wireless of the DMX signal from the transmit-
ter side to the receiver.
Any incoming signal (ArtNet, sACN or DMX) is retransmitted throught wireless.
If the ECLSOFTLINEARIP protocol selected is ArtNet / sACN, the WDMX module will retransmit the
DMX values contained in the ArtNet / sACN signal received from the ECLSOFTLINEARIP.
NOTE: Artnet and sACN have higher priority on DMX if they are connected to transmitter.
