ETC Unison Mosaic Show Control - Manual (Page 21)

X
NOTE: The reset must not be operated when uploading project data nor during
bootloader/firmware updates to the MSC X as corruption of the data or
software may occur, perhaps even rendering the unit inoperable.
WATCHDOG
The internal “watchdog” is enabled by default to reset automatically the MSC X in case of a
software crash as a result of either a coding error (“bug”) or a random electromagnetic event
such as a power brown-out or spike, nearby lightning strike or static discharge. Please refer to
the Designer Help to learn how to disable this feature (not recommended).
PORTS
• Ethernet 1 - Management
A standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connection may be made to this port for
management and networking to other Unison Mosaic Controllers and Remote Devices.
• Ethernet 2 - Protocol
A standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connection may be made to this port to output
data to lighting fixtures using Ethernet protocols (eDMX) such as sACN, ArtNet & KiNet.
• DVI-I Output
A standard DVI connection may be made to this port to route output data to the lighting
fixtures using the Digital Video Interface.
• RS232 Serial Ports (2)
The serial ports may be connected directly to a PC using a null modem cable. Other
devices may require different cables depending on their pinout. The serial port is a 9 pin
male D connector with the following pinout:
1: DCD
2: Receive data (RXD)
3: Transmit data (TXD)
4: DTR
5: Signal ground
6: DSR
7: RTS
8: CTS
9: RI
The serial port is not isolated from the MSC X’s power supply. If isolation is required, it
must either be provided by the connected device or a separate isolator should be used.
