The initial screen that your gateway displays is the Home screen, which provides
the name of the gateway, the IP address and some basic port information. This
image is what a typical home screen might look like on a four-port gateway,
where the gateway name is DMX Gateway and IP address is 10.101.101.101.
Additionally, the port information provides the following:
•
Port 1 is
actively
(black background)
receiving
(left-facing arrow) DMX input and sending it to
universe 12.
•
Port 2 is
not actively
(white background)
outputting
(right-facing arrow) DMX from universe
50. If an inactive port is in data-loss behavior, such as holding, the port number is appended
with an asterisk.
•
Port 3 is not actively outputting DMX and
either has a universe above 999 or is split
. The
ellipsis (...) indicates additional information that can be viewed from the About screen.

Port 4 is actively outputting DMX from universe 100.

Additionally, DD indicates a dimmer-doubled port, AIP indicates Advanced Input
Patch, ^ indicates a port in downloader mode, and X indicates a disabled port.
Pressing the Enter button from the Home screen brings up three selectable menu options
(About, Setup, Operations) from which you can access other information or
configuration options.
If you receive a User Interface Locked message when accessing the Setup or Operations options,
the gateway UI is locked. To unlock the UI, you must use the ETC Concert software.
