ArcMesh
ArcSystem products can be controlled using wired DMX through RJ45 connections, or the
wireless ArcMesh protocol. A wireless installation is an ideal solution for retrofit situations where
installing additional cable is not practical.
The following diagram illustrates a basic hybrid ArcSystem installation with a wireless luminaire,
TX1 Transmitter, and a wired DMX console for the main control source.

TX1 Transmitter
Each system requires a minimum of one TX1 Transmitter. The TX1 is used as a transmitter of
wireless data to luminaires or other devices within a system.
Note:
By default the TX1 DMX output is disabled. If you require DMX output from the
TX1, you must use the ArcSystem comissioning tool software to add DMX fixtures.
