ONNECTIONS
For network applications, DMX Manager Plus has two 10/100 Ethernet ports
on the rear panel. The ports are connected through an internal Ethernet
switch. Use the “ETHERNET” port for the initial system connection. The
“UPLINK” port is used to daisy-chain to the ETHERNET port on the next unit.
Network configurations should be done using Pathport Manager software, a
free download from the Pathway Connectivity website. See “Advanced
Configuration” for more details.

ONFIGURATION
Plug in the power cord. The internal power supply will automatically sense and
accommodate any voltage and frequency from 100VAC to 240VAC and 50 to
60 Hz. The front panel liquid-crystal display (LCD) and the keypads will light
up, and the display should look similar to the following once boot-up is
complete:
This is the
Port Status Screen. The example above shows the factory default
configuration as a 3-to-1 merger. Ports A, B and C are configured as inputs,
and Port D is an output.
The right hand column will alternate between configuration and DMX status.
For example:
In this example, Port A is not receiving DMX signal (e.g. no input, console
unplugged, faulty cable), while Port B and C are receiving signal which is being
output by Port D. See “Port Properties and Assignments” for other
configuration options.
