Ethernet connections link Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels to routers and each other through their

etherCON® ports. Ethernet connections are for running TCP/IP-protocol-based control

system, such as Kling-Net and Art-Net®. All etherCON® ports can be either input or output,

and panels can be linked to each other, but the start of each chain of panels must be a router

port, and there should be no more than 12 Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels linked off of one router

port.

Do not connect Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels to the WAN port of the router.

Kling-Net is a network protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX over a network and into the

Neutrik® etherCON® connection ports of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. Kling-Net works

seamlessly with Kling-Net-supported ArKaos software for configuring and mapping display

devices. For more information, see Kling-Net Configuration

Kling-Net requires a gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet card and network router.

Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX signals over a network and

into the etherCON® connection ports of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. Art-Net™ requires

configuration through the control panel. For more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols

and Art-Net™.

For more information about Art-Net™, see the Art-Net™ protocol document available on the

Chauvet web site at www.chauvetprofessional.com

Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels do not work with Art-Net™ controllers sending in Broadcast

mode. For information about the controller’s mode, see the controller’s user manual.
