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 and tied to the software versions that may be

running in these Gateways.

Please use the ETCNet2 NCE v4.1 User Manual which includes information about the Net3

DMX Gateways running in ETCNet2 mode.

For Net3 (ACN) configuration, please refer to the Gateway Configuration Editor (GCE) User

Manual.

Completely New, Totally Familiar

The Net3 Two Port Gateway is new from the ground up with strong family resemblance to

the Net3 Four Port Gateway. For that matter, the Two Port and the Four Port Gateways run

the same software and when in ETCNet2 mode, they are configured via NCE (Network

Configuration Editor).

Data & Power Connections

The Net3 Two Port Gateway is powered by either PoE (Power Over Ethernet 802.3af) or

via an external dc power supply.

The external power supply connects via a 2-pin header provided on the rear PCB. The

gateway accepts between 8 and 28Vdc via this input.

The Ethernet network connection is via an RJ45 jack on the rear PCB and supports PoE,

auto-sensing, auto-negotiation 10/100Mbps data speeds.

Though not advised to connect power via both PoE and the external dc input at the same

time, the gateway will function normally and use the power from the external dc input

instead of from PoE.

Section 2:

Installing the Gateway

With power disconnected from the Gateway, you can install or remove the unit from its

enclosure. When using PoE (Power Over Ethernet), don’t patch this unit prior to installation.

WARNING:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Power must be removed from the Gateway

before removing the unit or servicing the unit.

...swing the bottom of the

gateway into place and

tighten the screws on

either side of the bottom of

the unit.

Use the provided screws

to secure the mounting

bracket to the enclosure.

Note that this same

bracket works for in-wall

surface-mount boxes and

portable enclosures.

Line up and insert the top

Make the power and data connections.

This may consist of only plugging in the Ethernet

connection if you are using PoE or both power

and Ethernet connections.

Set the DMX termination if necessary via S1 and

S2. S1 controls the termination for Port 2, and S2

controls the termination for Port 1.

These switches are defaulted to on for every

module and it is very rare that you would ever

need to disable DMX termination on this unit.

This dc input

supports 8-28Vdc.

Installing the Gateway 5

DMX Basics & Pin-outs

The Net3 Two Port Gateway sends and receives DMX 512 control signals. The unit is can

contain a pair of 5-pin XLR DMX input connectors or a pair of 5-pin XLR DMX output

connectors. 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 Two 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 pair of compact switches (S1 & S2) located behind the DMX connectors on the rear PCB

in each unit is provided to enable and disable DMX termination. These switches are

defaulted to “on” for every gateway. The most common reason to disable this termination

is if you wanted to do a “touch and go” connection. “Touch and go” means that you land

DMX wiring on the connector for the gateway, and continue to another DMX device. It is

unlikely that this would be done with this gateway.

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.
