One-Port Gateway

Electrical Specifications

The gateways are powered by either auxiliary power or Power over Ethernet (P oE ).

Auxiliary power input rated voltage of 12-24 VDC, 4 W Max, Polarity Independent
10/100Base-T, PoE power Class 1 (IEEE 802.3af)

For auxiliary power, the wall-mount gate wa y includes a red-and-black wire harness that connects to
the supply conductors using two-position WAGO®conne ctors. T he portable gateway uses a screw
locking DCbarrel connector for use with an external power supply (available separately).

If you supply both PoE and auxiliary power, the gateway defaults to using auxiliary. If auxiliary
power is lost, the gateway will reboot and then begin using PoE.

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

15watts.

Connection Options

There a re three different connector types available de pending on your gateway:

DMX Out (five-pin female XLR)
DMX In (five-pin male XLR)
DMX RJ45 (input or output)

The Response Mk2 Gateways send and receive DMX-512 control signals. DMX cables must be
acceptable for DMX data transmission and connections should follow the standard pinouts per the
charts below. T he optiona l secondary data pair is not used by the Response Mk2 Gateways.

The DMX RJ45 varia nt can use a standard RJ45 Cat5e cable or better to transmit DMX-512 to other
devices with the same connector.

Note: The DMX RJ45 connector does not function as an Ethernet network port.

switch location

One-Port Gateway

DMX Termination

Te rmina tion is required for all DMX systems and belongs at the source
(be ginning) of a DMX line and at the last device physically conne cted in
the line. A termination switch is located internally for each input/output
and can be configured for DMX termination (IN) , No termination (OFF) or
RDM termination (OUT ). By default, the DMX termination switch is set to
the appropriate position based on the port type (Female XLR and RJ45 set
to OUT and Male XLR set to IN).

If you need to change the termination setting, perform the following steps:

1. Disconnect your gateway from all power supplies.

2. Remove the face plate and gateway from the back
box or portable enclosure. If you are looking at the
back of the gateway, the termination switch is on the
exterior of the right side, beneath the auxiliary power
conne ctor.

3. Se t the termination switch to the a ppropria te
configuration.

About RDM

Remote Device Management (RDM, ANSI E1.20) is a protocol enha ncement to DMX-512 that allows
bidirectional communication between a lighting system controller a nd attached RDM-compliant
responder devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol allows configuration, sta tus monitoring,
and management of these devices.

An RDM Controller is the device that initiates communica tion with one or more RDM Responder
devices. Examples of responders are RDM-enabled edge devices such as color scrollers, dimme rs,
moving lights, and LED fixtures. Compliant DMX-512 and DMX-512-A devices (non-RDM devices)
are fully functional when RDM is present. The Response Mk2 Gateway supports up to 256 total
RDMdevices across its ports using standard DMXsystem design practice s.

Note: RDM is currently only supporte d on DMXOutput ports.

RDM Basics

By defa ult, RDM discovery is not e na bled on the gateway. To enable RDM on the gateway, use the
Net3 Concert software or the user interface on the front of the gateway. Please see the Concert
online help file s for more information on activating RDM on your gateways or see

RDMSettings on page 7
