POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE) EXPLAINED

Power over Ethernet (POE) is a technology that lets network cables carry electrical power.

Since electrical currents flow in a loop, two conductors are required to deliver power over a

cable. POE treats each pair as a single conductor, and can use either the two data pairs or

the two spare pairs to carry electrical current.

Network cables, such as Cat 5e and Cat 6, comprise eight wires arranged as four twisted

pairs. In 10 and 100BASE-T Ethernet, two of these pairs are used for sending information,

and these are known as the data pairs. The other two pairs are unused and are referred to

as the spare pairs (Gigabit Ethernet uses all four pairs).

POE is injected onto the cable at a voltage between 44 and 57 volts DC, and typically 48

volts is used. This relatively high voltage allows efficient power transfer along the cable,

while still being low enough to be regarded as safe.

SETTING DMX PORTS

PORT STATUS

INPUT - Any of the (2) ports can be set as INPUT. When a port is set as INPUT, only the

principle universe is available and the PORT MODE can set to NORMAL or BACKUP.

OUTPUT - Any of the (2) ports can be set as OUTPUT. The PORT MODE can be set to

DISABLED - Disables selected Port and will not send or receive any data.

!All Port Mode options can be selected for a Disabled Port, however none will function.

PORT MODES

NORMAL [ONLY available when Port Status = INPUT]

Selected DMX Port will send any valid DMX data to the network (and internal use) using the
selected Art-Net Universe.

BACKUP [ONLY available when Port Status = INPUT]

Selected DMX Port will not send any data if the selected Art-Net Universe is present on the
network. If the selected universe becomes unavailable for several seconds and there is
valid DMX input data present, the device will send the DMX data until data from the
selected Art-Net Universe begins sending data again.

SINGLE [ONLY available when Port Status = OUTPUT]

Sets selected Port to send the DMX values of the selected Principle Art-NET Universe.
DMX output is enabled the first time it detects the DMX universe on the network or DMX data input.

HTP (Highest Ta k e s P re c ed e n c e ) [ONLY when Port Status = OUTPUT]

Selected Port merges data from the Principle and Secondary Universes and outputs the
one with the higher value.

!Can only be selected for DMX Ports with a Port Status = OUTPUT

!

Make sure RESEND option in System Menu is NOT set to Disabled or data will not

be sent to the network.

LTP (La te st Tak es Pre ced en ce) [ONLY when Port Status = OUTPUT]

Selected Port outputs the latest channel activity from the Principle and Secondary
Universes on a channel-by-channel basis.

!Can only be selected for DMX Ports with a Port Status = OUTPUT

!

Make sure RESEND option in System Menu is NOT set to Disabled or data will not

be sent to the network.

RDM (Remote Device Management) [ONLY when Port Status = OUTPUT]

ZERO [ONLY when Port Status = OUTPUT]

Selected DMX Port sends a DMX test signal with all channels at 0%.
