User Manual for information about connecting and configuring the product for DMX operation.
Master/Slave Connection
The STRIKE P38 uses the DMX data connection for its Master/Slave mode. See the User Manual for information about

RDM (Remote Device Management)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate bi-directionally
along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the manufacturer as not all DMX controllers
have this capability. The STRIKE P38 supports RDM protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map
