Nexus™ 4x1 User Manual Rev. 3
In Master/Slave mode one Nexus™ 4x1 panel (the master) controls one or more Nexus™ 4x1
panels (the slaves) without a DMX controller. The master Nexus™ 4x1 is set to an auto
program, or color, and sends its DMX to the slaves so they do the same thing. For more
information, see Master/Slave.
· Do not connect a DMX controller to the DMX chain when operating Nexus™ 4x1 panels in
Master/Slave mode, because signals from the master and the DMX controller will conflict and
cause erratic behavior in all the panels.
· Master/Slave operates via DMX ports only. The etherCON® ports cannot be used for

Master/Slave mode.

For more information about DMX, see the CHAUVET® DMX primer, available at
www.chauvetlighting.com
Ethernet connections link Nexus™ 4x1 panels to routers and each other through their
etherCON® ports. Ethernet connections are for running TCP/IP-based control system, such as
Kling-Net and Art-Net®. All etherCON® ports can be either input or output, and panels can be
linked together, but the start of each chain must be a router port.
Do not connect Nexus™ 4x1 panels to the WAN port of the router.
