Outputting Dmx - ETC ION Operation Manual

Outputting DMX

In order to output control levels from Ion, you can either use the DMX ports on the back of the
console (see Local DMX, page 305 in the ECU appendix) or you may connect a Net3 gateway or
Net2 node. If your device receives Net3 or ETCNet2 directly, no gateway or node is required.
Nodes and gateways must be given an IP address before they can function with Ion. This may
require using NCE (Network Configuration Editor) or GCE (Gateway Configuration Editor) and a
®
Windows PC to configure the gateways or nodes. The NCE or GCE Software CD and related user
manuals and setup guides were packaged with your gateway or node. Use these materials to
prepare them for use with Ion.
For more information on Net3 gateways or Net2 nodes, see the product literature that accompanied
the hardware or download it from our website at www.etcconnect.com.
