Description

Net-X II is a reliable and versatile rack-mountable ethernet-to-DMX adapter with an integrated optical DMX splitter and ethernet switch capability. It has two 5-pin DMX In ports and eight 5-pin DMX Out ports, all optically isolated. It takes up to 8 Art-Net™ or sACN universes simultaneously. The eight 5-pin DMX Out ports can be assigned to either of the DMX In ports or to one of the Art-Net™ or sACN universes. Neutrik® etherCON® ports are through ports that allow daisy chaining of Net-X II units. Net-X II provides a reliable, highly customizable network infrastructure for complex control systems. Merge two controllers into the Net­X II via DMX, Art-Net™, or sACN, supporting both LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) and HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) functions. Record function allows you to record looks from a controller and save them into memory and it is webserver supported for remote configuration and backup/update.

3. Setup

AC Power

Each Net-X II has an auto-ranging power supply that works with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the power requirements for each Net-X II, refer to the label affixed to the product. You can also refer to the Technical Specifications
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation. For more information, download Sizing Circuit Breakers from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com
• Always connect the product to a grounded and protected circuit. Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Fuse Replacement

The Net-X II uses a F 1 A, 250 V fuse accessible from the back of the product. To change the fuse, do the following:
1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. With a Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse.
4. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.
5. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
• Disconnect the product from power before replacing the fuse.
• Always replace a blown fuse with another of the same type and rating.

Mounting

Before mounting this product, read and follow the Safety Notes. For our Chauvet line of mounting clamps, go to www.trusst.com/productcategory/accessories-clamps/.

Orientation

Always mount this product in a safe position and make sure the menu and the ports are accessible and there is adequate room for ventilation, configuration, and maintenance. The Net-X II fits nicely in a standard 19” rack, can be suspended upright or upside down, or it can be placed on its rubber feet on a flat level surface.
Use the following guidelines when mounting the Net-X II:
• When selecting an installation location, consider easy access to this product for operation, programming adjustments, and routine maintenance.
• Make sure to mount this product away from any flammable material as indicated in the Safety
Notes.
• Never mount in places where rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes, or restricted ventilation may affect the product.
• If hanging this product, make sure that the mounting location can support the product’s weight. See the Technical Specifications
• When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
• Leave enough slack on the cables to prevent tension and pull on the plugs.

Installation Guidelines

The Net-X II is used as part of a control system for operating various lighting and multi-media products. The physical and digital construction of the control network is determined by the location and signal needs of the products.
When designing a control system that uses the Net-X II, consider the following:
• Placing the Net-X II so the menu and ports can be accessed
• Running the cables so there is no tension or pull on the cables or plugs
• Planning a large control system carefully before configuring the components, so IP address, DMX address, and other identifiers are not duplicated

Signal Connections

The Net-X II receives signal though 2 DMX In ports and one of 2 Neutrik® etherCON® ports. It sends signal out through 8 DMX Out ports and the other Neutrik® etherCON® port.

Art-Net™ Connection

Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP to transfer a large amount of DMX512 data using an etherCON® RJ45 connection over a large network. An Art-Net™ protocol document is available from
www.chauvetprofessional.com

sACN Connection

Also known as ANSI E1.31, streaming ACN is an Ethernet protocol that uses the layering and formatting of Architecture for Control Networks to transport DMX512 data over IP or any other ACN compatible network. ACN is maintained by the Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA).

Operation

4. Operation

Control Panel Operation

The Net-X II is configured through the control panel, using the control panel buttons. Once the Net-X II is properly configured it operates without user intervention.
The Net-X II can be used as a DMX splitter, in which case the DMX In ports must be assigned to the DMX Out ports, but the Net, Subnet, and IP address settings may not need configuration.
The Net-X II can be used as an Art-Net™ node, in which case the Art-Net™ universes must be assigned to the DMX Out ports, and the Net, Subnet, and IP address settings must be configured.
The Net-X II can be used as an sACN node, in which case the sACN universes must be assigned to the DMX Out ports, and the IP address settings must be configured.
The Net-X II can be used as both a DMX splitter and either an Art-Net™ or sACN node simultaneously, in which case both the DMX assignments and the Art-Net™ or sACN settings must be configured. For more information, see Example Configurations.
The Net-X II can be used to merge two DMX, Art-Net™, or sACN signals from different controllers and output as one signal, using LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) and HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) functions.
The Net-X II has backup settings and configurations with same or other Net-X IIs. The Net-X II is webserver supported for remote configuration and backup/update. The Net-X II’s record function allows you to record looks from a controller and save them into memory

Control Knob

The Net-X II has a knob that is used to scroll through the options in the menu. Press the knob to make a selection.

Programming

Refer to the Menu Map to understand the menu options. The menu map shows the main level and a variable number of programming levels for each option.
• To access the menu from the Home Screen, press the knob.
• To scroll through the options on each level of the menu, turn the knob. Turn it clockwise to scroll down, and turn it counter-clockwise to scroll up.
• Press the knob to select the highlighted option. This will take you to the next programming level for that option, or it will highlight a value that can be edited.
• To increase a selected number value, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease a selected number value, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
• Press Exit/Cancel to the previous main level.
