Disetél

Follow these steps to set up your DMXking eDMX2 MAX adapter:

1. Sambungan Daya:
   • Kakuatan kana Ethernet (Poe): Connect a standard Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or injector to the Ethernet port on the eDMX2 MAX. The device will power on automatically.
   • USB Power: Alternatively, connect the supplied USB-C cable to the USB-C port on the eDMX2 MAX and to a USB power source (e.g., computer, USB power adapter).
2. Network Connection (for Art-Net/sACN): Connect a standard Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the Ethernet port on the eDMX2 MAX. Ensure your computer or DMX control software is on the same network.
3. USB Connection (for USB DMX): Connect the supplied USB-C cable from the eDMX2 MAX to your computer. The device will be recognized as an ENTTEC Pro compatible DMX interface.
4. DMX Device Connection: Connect your DMX lighting fixtures or other DMX-compatible devices to the 3-pin DMX ports (A and B) on the eDMX2 MAX using standard DMX cables. Ensure correct DMX termination if required by your DMX chain.
5. Utiliti Konfigurasi: Download and install the DMXking configuration utility for Windows or Mac OSX from the official DMXking website. This utility is used to configure network settings, DMX universe assignments, and other device parameters.
