dmXLAN node6x User Manual 

 
The dmXLAN node6x is a versatile and powerful addition to any lighting network as it 
combines a 6-port DMX to Ethernet node with a 5-port Ethernet switch in a single 1U 
high unit. This fully programmable node can be controlled via the LCD menu display 
and encoder switch on the front panel or through the free ELC dmXLAN software 
available for download at 

www.elclighting.com

. 

The dmXLAN node6x has no fans and is therefore silent in operation. There is also a 
version of the node6x available with fully-isolated DMX ports (DLN6X-FI). Both 
versions can be ordered with optional Power over Ethernet for the three Ethernet 
sockets on the front panel.

DLN6X 
DLN6X_FI 

 

fully isolated 

DLN6XPOE   

Power over Ethernet

6 bi-directional DMX ports on the front panel, XLR, RDM compatible 

 

Supports sACN, Art-Net & Shownet 

 

Integrated switch with 3 Ethernet ports (Neutrik Ethercon) 10/100 MBit on the 
front and 2 Ethernet ports (regular RJ45 jacks) on the rear panel
