CONNECTIONS

DM X CONNECTIONS (EN 12)
All DMX Output connections are 5pin female XLR; however, the pin – out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold ( – ), and pin 3 to hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 are not used.
Carefully connect DMX cables to the respective ports.
To prevent damaging the DMX ports, provide strain relief and support. Avoid connecting FOH Snakes to the ports directly.
Certain functions may require adapters (purchased separately), such as a 5 pole XLR male to 5 pole XLR male.

DMX CONNECTIONS (EN12 – 45)
All DMX Output connections are RJ45; Pin1: DATA+, Pin2: DATA -, Pin7+8; Ground (ESTA Compliant) Carefully connect RJ45 cables to the respective ports.
To prevent damaging the ports, provide strain relief and support. Avoid connecting FOH Snakes to the ports directly.

ETHERNET DATA CONNECTION
The Ethernet cable is connected on the back of the gateway into the port labeled A or B. Devices can be daisy chained, but it is recommended not to exceed 10 Netron devices in one chain. Because these devices use locking RJ45 connectors, and the use of locking RJ45 ethernet cables is recommended, any RJ45 connector is suitable.
To connect multiple devices to an EtherDMX Source, an Ethernet switch is required to split the data into the desired number of streams.
The Ethernet connection is also used to connect a computer to the Netron device for remote configuration via a web browser. To access the web interface, simply enter the IP address shown in the display in any web browser connected to the device. Information about the web access can be found in the manual.

MENU: NAVIGATION
The Netron devices use a small OLED display for feedback and setup. The encoder dials up and down through the menu, a push of the encoder selects an item or saves an entry. Revert to a previous menu or cancel an entry with a single push of the back arrow.

Wheel Right	Scroll down in menu list / increase values
Wheel Left	Scroll up in menu list / decrease values
Wheel Push	Enter Menu, Select menu item, go down one level in menu, confirm values.
Back Arrow	Go up one level in menu tree, cancel change of values, hold for 2 seconds to return to home screen

As you scroll up or down the menu, the arrows indicate that more items are available above or below that which is displayed, and only show when needed.

MENU: HOME SCREEN
This is the default screen providing quick status feedback and indicates IP and DMX traffic.

MENU: PRESETS
Several simple presets are preprogrammed into the device for fast setup. Some presets require additional input like a start Universe.

MENU: CUES
A cue is a full static snapshot of all DMX values of all ports. The device supports 99 cues with fade and hold times, plus a link option to loop multiple cues together. This allows small “mini” cuelists to be created. Cues are used for standalone operation, as a backup for signal loss or can be assigned to one of the switch inputs. This is often used for fire alarm situations where a system has to go to a defined state and stop all console playback. Cues can be sent as Ethernet Universes so one device can drive many other Netron nodes.

SUB MENU		OPTIONS / VALUES			DESCRIPTION
	Run Cue	1 – 99	Go/Off		Select the desired cue
	Save Cue	1:Cue 1 99:Cue 99	Save Cue?	Yes/No	Save all values on all ports to a cue slot

MENU: REMOTE INPUT
The device supports ten remote assignments that can trigger specific actions like recalling a cue or preset. These events are recalled using local contact closures, DMX In, or a specific EtherDMX Universe / Address.

SUB MENU	OPTIONS / VALUES			DESCRIPTION
	Cue	1 – 99		Recall a specific cue number
	Cue Mode	Trigger		The cue is activated, and all times and links are processed even if the contact is opened again
		Toggle		The cue is activated, and all times and links are processed only if the contact is closed. Once toggle is opened, device will assume DMX traffic or No DMX status. This allows to alternate between two cues for example with the toggle switch.
	Netron Preset	a,b,c,…		Recalls this Netron preset when the contact is closed
	User Preset	1 – 10		Recalls this user preset when contact is closed
	Disable DMX			Stops all DMX output for as long as contact is closed
