The end of the DMX line must be terminated. A
DMX Terminator switch is located on the
Installation Frame “Control Connector Board”.
If the DMX line is looped out from an EKO
dimmer to another EKO or other DMX
equipment, then the termination switch must be
set to the UNTERM position.
If the DMX line is NOT looped out from an EKO
dimmer, then the termination switch must be set
to the TERM position.
4.4.4.2 CONNECTING LSCNET TO
THE INSTALLATION FRAME
The EKO dimmer can be remotely controlled
from LSC ePlates via the LSCnet.
Connection between devices on the LSCnet is
via RJ45 connectors using CAT5 cable. The
cable is run in a daisy chain that loops from
device to device. The cable carries both data
and power. The maximum total length of the
cable is 800 metres. If longer cable runs are
required, a data repeater must be used to
regenerate the data. Contact your LSC agent for
details on data repeaters.

Each device on the LSCnet has two RJ45
sockets allowing the LSCnet cable to be looped
from device to device. It is essential for correct
network operation that the first and last device
in the network be terminated and that all other
devices are not terminated. See section 5.4
LSCnet Cabling
for more details.
If an EKO dimmer or ePlate has both of its
RJ45
sockets connected to the LSCnet then the
termination switch on that device must be set to
UNTERM
.
If an EKO dimmer or ePlate has only one of its
RJ45
sockets connected to the LSCnet then the
termination switch on that device must be set to
TERM
.
The first stage of the installation process is
now complete.
