6.4 Ethernet
The RJ45 connector fitted to the RC120 requires a straight-through cable to
connect to a network switch, hub or router. The connection is 10Base-T and
operates at 10MBits per second.

7 General description
Three modes of operation are provided for the light output:
Continuous – the output is constant, but variable between 0% and
100% in steps of 0.1%.
Pulse (strobe) – the output is pulsed once per trigger. The delay from
trigger to pulse, the pulse duration and the brightness can all be set.
Switched – the trigger input can be used to switch the output current
on and off.
The set-up is non-volatile, so the RC1xx resumes the same operation after
a power cycle.
7.1 Pulse and duty cycle limits
The output is off by default. Upon being triggered, the RC1xx pulses to the
output after a delay. The delay, pulse width, re-trigger delay, and pulse
intensity are all configurable (see Section 9, “Web page configuration
(RC120)”, or Section 10.3.4, “Lighting commands”, or Section 10.2, “Front
panel commands”).
In pulse and switched modes, the brightness can be set up to 1000% of
its rating for short periods and low duty cycles. To avoid damage to the
lighting, the RC1xx limits the duty cycle by ignoring triggers that are too
