Four-Port Gateway

LED Indicators

Power - Solid blue indicate s that power is supplied
Network - Solid green indicates network connection and blinking indicates network activity
Port Indica tor - Each port has an adjacent port indicator LED that provides information on the
state of the port:

Output mode

Gree n (solid): Valid sACNsources on the port
Gree n (slow blinking): No va lid sACN source s on the port. Note tha t the port can be in a
Hold La st Look (HLL) state.
Gree n (fast blinking): Attempting to output but there are other DMXsources dete cted on
the DMXline causing a collision
Amber (blink): RDMtransa ction in process

Input mode

Red (solid): Active DMXinput on the port
Red (slow blinking): No active DMXinput on the port
Red (fast blinking) : DMXsource is invalid

Off: Port disabled or power off
Red-Green (alternating blinking): The port is upda ting a connected ETCdevice
Amber-Green (alternating blinking): The port is in DMXtest mode

Electrical Specifications

The gateways are powered by either auxiliary powe r or Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Auxiliary power input rated voltage of 12-24 VDC, 15 W Max, Polarity Independent
10/100Base-T, PoE power Class 2 (IEE E 802.3af)

For auxilia ry power, the gateway uses an external DCpower supply (available separately).

If you supply both PoE and auxiliary power, the gate way defaults to using a uxiliary. If auxilia ry
power is lost, the gate wa y will reboot and the n begin using PoE.

Note: If you are using an e xternal power supply, it must be rated at a maximum of

15watts.

Four-Port Gateway

Connection Options

There are four different connector types available depending on your ga tewa y:

DMX Out (five-pin female XLR)
DMX In (five-pin male XLR)
DMX RJ45 (input or output)
DMX Terminal he ader (three-pin terminal for input or output)

The Response Mk2 Gateways send and rece ive DMX-512 control signals. DMX cables must be
acceptable for DMX data transmission and connections should follow the standard pinouts pe r the
charts below. The optional seconda ry data pa ir is not used by the Response Mk2 Gateways.

The DMX RJ45 variant can use a standa rd RJ45 Cat5e cable or better to transmit DMX-512 to other
devices with the same connector.

The Four-Port Gateway is available in five va riants of available connector types:

4 Out (female XLR connectors)
4 In (male XLR connectors)
3 Out and 1 In
4 Terminal connectors
4 RJ45 connectors

Note: The DMX RJ45 connector does not function as an Etherne t ne twork port.
