Setting

Modes And

Protocols

The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 automatically senses whether control is coming from a DMX source, or a

Network source. When there is an etherCON® cable plug into it, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects

a TCP/IP protocol, such as Art-Net™ or Kling-Net, depending on the setting in the control

panel. If there is a DMX cable plugged into it, the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 expects a DMX controller

or Master/Slave control, depending on the settings in the control panel.

The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 can receive control from only one set of ports, either the DMX ports or

the etherCON® ports. The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 senses which ports are used on power-up, so the

panel cannot be changed from DMX to TCP/IP, or from TCP/IP to DMX while it is turned on.

To switch from one set of ports to another (one control type to another), unplug the Nexus™

Aw 7x7 panel, switch the cables, and then plug the panel in again.

A DMX personality must be set for all modes, DMX, Art-Net™, or Kling-Net. For more

information, see DMX Personality

Kling-Net has no settings to configure, but it must be selected through the control panel. For

more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols and Kling-Net

Art-Net™ has a number of settings that must be configured through the control panel. For

more information, see Setting Ethernet Protocols and Art-Net™

When a DMX controller is sending signal to the DMX ports and there is nothing in the

etherCON® ports, any Ethernet settings in the control panel will be ignored.

When aTCP/IP controller is sending signal to the etherCON® ports and there is nothing in the

DMX ports, the DMX personality will be recognized by the TCP/IP controller.

Do not connect both DMX and etherCON® cables, use one or the other.
