The PowerBox contains Powercon True1 in and out sockets as well as XLR in and out sockets.
Also, there is an Ethernet socket which accepts Art-Net (DHCP, 2.X and 10.X) and sACN
4.6.1
Input
The inputs have the following priorities:
1.
XLR
2.
sACN
3.
Art-Net
As long as XLR is received, sACN and Art-Net are deactivated.
While sACN or Art-Net are received, the DMX is also output on the XLR connector.
4.6.2
Status LED
The PowerBox has a status LED next to the Ethernet socket. If the LED is constantly on, this
indicates that no DMX data is being received. If the status LED blinks slowly, this indicates that
the PowerBox receives DMX.
The indicator LED can light up in different colors which indicate which data source is being
received:
Blue
Art-Net DHCP
Magenta
Art-Net 2.X address
Green
Art-Net 10.X address
Yellow
sACN
Cyan
XLR
4.6.3
Button
Next to the indicator LED is a button. A single press on the button cycles between the
different IP settings for Art-Net: DHCP, 2.x and 10.x.
4.6.4
Reset
The controller can be reset to restore the universe ID to 1 again.
Also, during each reset the controller tries to download a software update from the internet.
To be successful, it must be connected to a LAN with DHCP.
The reset is done like this:
Hold the button down -> LED blinks blue -> hold still -> stops blue blinking after 4 sec.
Then the LEDs turn red for a moment and return to Art-Net 2.x again if no update was found.
