CONFIGURATION
2.1 Operator
Interface
The front panel contains the main indicators, buttons and LCD display. Six LED indicators
located on the left hand side indicate when data is present on the associated input channel.
The central display area comprises a backlit dot matrix LCD (40 Character x 2 line format)
and 4 function buttons each with an integrated LED. The LCD is divided up into three
sections by the front panel decal.
The central section is the main display area, where the patch and configuration information is
displayed. The left and right areas are used for the interactive menu system. Menu
commands are displayed when the user presses the respective buttons, causing the
integrated button LED to illuminate. Pressing these menu buttons will advance the user into
different screens each with different menu options. If no menu option exists for that screen
then the LED in the switch will not glow and the command area will be blank.
Pressing any button will activate the backlighting. When no buttons are pressed for 5
minutes, the backlight will switch off to conserve power.

Rear Panel Connections
Mains power is applied to the IEC power connector. To the right of the power connector are
the DMX512 data input screw terminal connectors for the six DMX input channels. Next to
these connectors are six DIP switches which are used for DMX input termination.
The DMX output connectors also use screw terminal connectors for the 12 DMX data
outputs. Wiring details for all connectors can be found on the label above the connectors.
All DMX input and output connectors used on the
DMXchange
can be quickly disconnected
without using any tools to allow easy equipment replacement and servicing.
