Nexus™ Aw 7x7 User Manual Rev. 2 -11-

DMX Mode

Master/Slave

Mode

In DMX mode, Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels are controlled by a DMX controller, and the DMX

address and DMX personality must be set through the control panel.

The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 automatically senses its control source. When there is a DMX cable

plugged in, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects a DMX controller, or Master/Slave. When there is an

etherCON® cable plug in, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects an IP protocol, such as Art-Net™ or

Kling-Net.

The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 has 5 DMX personalities, each with different capabilities. The table

below lists the capabilities of each personality. For more information, see DMX Address

and

DMX Personality in the Menu Operations section of this manual.

In Master/Slave mode one Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panel (the master) controls one or more

Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels (the slaves) without a DMX controller. The master panel is set to an

auto program, or static color and sends DMX to the slaves so they do the same thing. For

more information, see Master/Slave Mode in the Menu Operations

section of this manual.

• Do not connect a DMX controller to the DMX chain when operating Nexus™ Aw 7x7

products in Master/Slave mode, because signals from the master and the DMX

controller will conflict and cause erratic behavior in all the products.

• Master/Slave operates via DMX ports only. The etherCON® ports cannot be used for

Master/Slave mode.
