1Net3 Four Port Gateway Setup Guide

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of an industry leading ETC Net3™ network device.

This manual will guide you through the setup of the hardware, electrical and data

connections of this Gateway. It does not cover any of the software modes and

configuration. This is covered separately by specific tied to the software versions that may

be running in these Gateways, such as the ETCNet2 NCE v4.1 User Manual which has

been updated to include information about the Net3 DMX Gateways running in ETCNet2

mode.

Listen to What Our Customers Want

If you are already familiar with our line of ETCNet2 DMX Nodes, you will notice some

significant changes to our new DMX Gateways. Many of these changes are a direct result

from customer feedback.

•Smaller size. The compact design of the unit now allows it to go in more places and

provides you with the ability of getting more DMX ports per rack space. This is still only

1U rack space tall, but now 1/2 rack space wide.

•LCD Display. The LCD replaces the LEDs on the ETCNet2 nodes and provides a

wealth more information about status, configuration and the software that is currently

active in the Gateway.

•Supports PoE standard IEEE 802.3af (Power over Ethernet). In addition to

supporting external DC power supplies, the Net3 Gateways now also support PoE to

ease installation and reduce the need for having AC power nearby.

Give Them More Than They Expect

•Modular DMX port design. The modular port design represents a major leap forward

in flexible configuration and serviceability via module repair and replacement. While it’s

never good when a device encounters a problem, the Net3 DMX Gateway provides a

very easy path to being up and working again with a minimal amount of fuss by putting

the electronics most commonly zapped by outside equipment in the individual modules

for easy service and/or replacement.

Section 2:

DMX Gateway Modules

There are four different types of modules available: DMX Out (XLR 5-pin female), DMX In

(XLR 5-pin male), DMX RJ45 (RJ45 8-pin female) and DMX terminal strip.

The Terminal Strip Module comes with ETC’s standard DMX termination preparation kit

(ETC Part # 4100A1012). This kit includes instructions, a screw terminal connector and

heat shrink.

The DMX RJ45 module can use a standard Cat5 cable to transmit DMX512 to other devices

with the same connector. The DMX RJ45 module will not function as an Ethernet

network port.

Any of these modules can be configured via software to be either a DMX input or a DMX

output.

Additionally, there is a blanking plate that is installed to cover the module bay in the

absence of a module (depending on how the Gateway is configured, not all module bays

will have a module installed in it).

With power removed from the Gateway, you can move and swap DMX modules as needed

for desired configuration or replacement.

5Net3 Four Port Gateway Setup Guide

DMX Basics & Pin-outs

The Net3 Four Port Gateway sends and receives DMX 512 control signal. The unit is can

contain a 5-pin XLR DMX input connector, a 5-pin XLR DMX output connector or a terminal

strip connector. DMX cables should be acceptable for DMX data transmission (not

microphone cable) and should follow the standard pinout. The optional secondary data pair

is not used by the Net3 Four Port Gateway.

The DMX network supports up to 32 devices connected to each DMX line. Termination is

required for all DMX networks and belongs at the beginning (source) of a DMX network and

with the last device physically connected device in the chain.

A compact switch (S1) located behind the DMX connector on each module is provided to

enable and disable DMX termination. These switches are defaulted to on for every module.

The most common reason to disable this termination is if you wanted to do a “touch and go”

connection on a terminal strip module. “Touch and go” means that you land DMX wiring on

the connector for the module, and continue to another DMX device.

RDM Basics

Net3 Gateway software now supports Remote Device Management (RDM) protocol. By

default, RDM is not enabled on Net3 Gateways. To enable RDM on the Net3 Gateway,

Net3 Gateway Configuration Editor (GCE) is required. Please see the GCE help files for

more information on activating RDM on your Net3 Gateways.

About RDM

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows

bi-directional communication between a lighting system controller and attached

RDM-compliant responder devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol allows

configuration, status monitoring, and management of these devices.

An RDM Controller is the device that initiates communication with one or more RDM

Responder devices. Examples of controllers are ETC's Net3 DMX/RDM 2-Port and 4-Port

Gateways and RDM-enabled consoles.

An RDM Responder is the device that replies to communication from a controller. Examples

of responders are RDM-enabled edge devices such as gel scrollers, dimmers, and moving

lights.

Net3 DMX/RDM Gateways support 32 RDM devices per port, just like DMX devices.

Compliant DMX512 and DMX512-A devices (non-RDM devices) are completely functional

when RDM is present.

RDM was developed by the ESTA Technical Standards and can be referenced as ANSI/

ESTA E1.20.

7Net3 Four Port Gateway Setup Guide

Under the Module Cover

Here is a small bit of service information for you if you are technically inclined. There is an

assumed level of knowledge that goes with the information being provided (i.e. how to pull

an IC chip without bending the pins and how to work around delicate electronics).

If for any reason you don’t feel comfortable working around delicate electronics (it’s not for

everyone), then you should contact your local ETC dealer or ETC office for service and

support options. ETC office contact information can be found in Help from ETC Technical

Services on page 2.

One of the most common issues a DMX device can encounter is an electrical surge/spike

that comes down the line and “pop” or burn out the DMX transceiver chip. Under the

module’s cover, each of the modules contain a socketed DMX transceiver chip for easy

replacement.

This DMX transceiver chip is a 75LBC182 (ETC Part # Z1458). For those of you familiar

with ETC’s other products, you may expect a 75176 chip here. The 75LBC182 is a more

robust chip that can withstand electrical spikes better than the 75176. However, the

75LBC182 is pin-compatible with the 75176 so either may be used in an emergency.

CAUTION:

Special precautions should be taken to keep yourself grounded to avoid damaging

the equipment. ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) may damage the module’s

electronics.
