Safety 

Do   not   expose   the   Ethergate   Mk3   to   rain   or
moisture, doing this will void the warranty

Do not remove the cover, live voltage inside

This unit is intended for indoor use only

Basic Setup

Right out of the box, the Ethergate Mk3 is factory configured
to be a DMX OUTPUT device, listening to the first two Art-
Net Universes (starting from 0x00). It is also set as a DHCP
node, so you can plug it into your existing router, and it's
good to go. 

To make any changes to the configuration, you will need the
IP   address   of   Ethergate.   ENTTEC   provides   a   free   App
(available for Windows and Mac) called NMU, which will find
the Ethergate on your network and display its IP address. 

Using   the   IP   address   one   can   access   the   built-in   web-
interface   inside   the   Ethergate   Mk3   via   any   modern   web-
browser. The web-interface allows the settings of the unit to
be changed.
