NTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Ethernet Swi tch .
The Ethernet Switch is designed to expand the control possibilities of large
lighting control systems that contain increased numbers of DMX
universes. Working together with the Ether2DMX box and the Neutrik
Ethercon converter, the Ethernet Switch analyzes the data processing
stream and forwards it to the required destination.
The Ethernet Switch automatically disables unnecessary functionality that
would otherwise disturb a lighting control system.
The front plate has an 8x3 LED matrix that displays 10 Mb activity, 100 Mb
activity and collision on each port.
The Ethernet Switch may be used to split out a single ethernet link from a
console to several Ethernet/DMX nodes, or link several consoles together.
In addition, the Ethernet Switch’s internal signal buffer allows you to
extend the network beyond conventional 100-meter cable constraints.
Features
• 8 x 10/100 base-T ethernet ports on Neutrik ethercon connectors, can
be connected via Martin ethercon CAT 5 cable and ethercon converter.
• Wire speed receiving and transmission. Can transmit and receive
ethernet frames at full speed (maximum frame lengths set to 1536
Bytes).
• Auto-negotiation: automatically detects 10Mb or 100Mb devices on its
ports and automatically switches between half and full duplex mode.
• MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover: automatically detects straight or crossover
connections and adapts its ports, allowing free use of straight and
crossover cables.
• Unmanaged operation (plug-and-play).
• Hardware-configured for lighting control purposes.
• Wide range auto-sensing power supply: 90 - 250 VAC, 50/60Hz
• 19 inch rack mount aluminum chassis (1U ).

Safety information
The Ethernet Switch is not for household use. For safe operation, read
this manual before use and follow the safety precautions listed below. If
you have questions about how to operate the device safely, please
contact your Martin distributor or dealer.
• This device is not for domestic use.
• Use the device only as described in this manual and on the device.
• Disconnect the device from AC power before removing fuses or any
part, and when not in use.
• Always ground (earth) the device electrically.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection.
• Do not expose the device to rain or moisture.
• Never attempt to bypass fuses. Always replace defective fuses with
ones of the specified type and rating.
• Do not operate the device if any cover or component is missing,
damaged or deformed.
• Immediately replace any damaged power cables.
• Refer all service to a qualified technician.
• Do not modify the device or install other than genuine Martin parts.

POWER
AC operating range
The Ethernet Switch power supply is fully auto-sensing and the device can
be connected to AC power at any voltage from 90 to 250 V at 50 or 60 Hz.
Power plug installation
The Ethernet Switch is supplied with an IEC-type power cable that may
require a grounding-type (earthed) power plug suitable for your power
distribution cable or outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if you have any
doubts about proper installation.
Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the device must
be grounded (earthed). The local AC power source must be
equipped with both overload and ground-fault (earth fault)
protection devices.
Following the power plug manufacturer’s instructions, connect the yellow
and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire
to neutral. The table below shows some pin identification schemes.

ATA CONNECTIONS
Since the Ethernet Switch actively processes network traffic, it functions
independently of most topology rules, but networked devices must be
connected to the switch in a star configuration with the switch at its center .
Ethernet connection
Direct connection to controller or PC
To connect a single Ethernet Switch to a controller or PC, use cat e go ry 5
(CAT5) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to connect the
Artnet/Ethernet output of the controller or PC (on the Maxxyz, this
connector is labeled EtherDMX) to one of the Ethercon RJ-45 sockets on
the rear panel of the Ethernet Switch.
Note that the maximum recommended length of one run of Ethernet cable
is 100 meters (328 ft.).
Connection to other switches and/or Ether2DMX
boxes
We recommend use of Martin ethercon shielded twisted pair (STP) CAT5
0.14 mm
Ethernet Switch outputs. A 5 meter (16 ft.) cable is supplied with the
product. The Martin website at http://www.martin.com gives details of
suitable Martin cable available in various lengths.
Connection of multiple Ethernet Switches
You can use as many Ethernet Switches as required to provide the
maximum number of DMX universes supported by your controller or PC.
2
(26 AWG) 100 Ohm patch cable for all connections from the
Connection to DMX
The Ethernet Switch can be connected to standard USITT DMX-512 links
via one or more Martin Ether2DMX units.
