Each fixture needs to have a DMX start address to receive the data from the controller. The DMX address number, which could be read from rear panel of each fixture and is between 000~511. Each unit uses 8 DMX channels. If all units connected are to be controlled exactly the same, each unit must have the DMX start address set the same. For example, set all units to channel 001. Use the menu button and then the up/down buttons to select the desired DMX start address, press enter to confirm your selection

Use a DMX cable to link the units together via the DMX in/out sockets on the rear panel. See above diagram.
