CONNECTING TO DMX ETHERNET DEVICES VIA WIFI ROUTER
The RJ45 port on DMX Ethernet devices enables wired connection to a local area network, but it is also possible to
wirelessly connect to the network by WiFi.
Illustrated below is an example configuration using a third-party mini WiFi router to enable a wireless connection. Other
descriptions for such routers include “hotspot”, “hub”, “dongle”, “bridge”, “repeater”, etc.
Note: This example shows a single DMX Ethernet device, but it is possible to connect multiple DMX Ethernet devices to
the WiFi router using a third-party IP network switch to expand the available RJ45 ports.
Setting up the wireless network:
• Configure the WiFi router as a hotspot to create a new access point (or configure the WiFi router as a bridge or repeater t
o
join an existing network). If IP addresses are assigned dynamically on the network by a DHCP server, refer to the WiFi
router’s datasheet/manual for details regarding configuration.
• Once the router is correctly configured, connect it to the RJ45 port o
f the DMX Ethernet device. Set the DMX Ethernet
device configuration to DHCP or static IP mode (refer to the device’s datasheet/manual for details).
• Once the DMX Ethernet device is connected to the router, it can be controlled by the Wi
-Light 2 App.
Example of mini WiFi dongle/router installation:
Never use the interface's 5v usb port to power another device.
