Overview

Up to 32 Desire XTI fixtures can be daisy-chained on a DMX/RDM network. Each fixture

can have an unique DMX address and each address can be configured separately. Also,

more that one fixture can have the same address, allowing you to configure them

identically.

You can use an RDM configuration tool or an RDM lighting control device to configure the

fixtures. An RDM configuration tool is installed on a PC, which is connected to the

DMX/RDM network via Gadget or a DMX/RDM gateway. After the fixtures are configured,

Gadget or the gateway can be disconnected and a DMX or RDM control device can be

connected to the network for continued operation.
