DMX/RDM Gateway
A DMX/RDM gateway, such as an ETC Gateway, can be used to connect a PC to the
DMX/RDM network so that you can configure the fixtures on the network. The Gateway can
be connected directly to a PC with an Ethernet cable.
Prior to connecting through a gateway, start the RDM configuration tool software and apply
power to the fixtures.
To Connect a gateway to a PC and the DMX/RDM network
Step 1: Do one of the following.
•
Connect the PC to the local area network via Ethernet and then use an RJ45
cable to connect the gateway to the same network.
• Using an RJ45 cable, connect the PC to the gateway.
Step 2: Connect the DMX cable to the gateway.
Step 3: Connect the other end of the DMX cable to the DMX jack that is connected to the
DMX/RDM network.
