asking your RDM interface vendor whether he has tested his interface with Tempest enclosures 

and all other RDM devices you plan to use on the same network. 

Firmware Upgrade over RDM 

 

DEC3.2 firmware is 

now field-

upgradeable, 

using RDM. A field 

upgrade requires a 

JESE RDM TRI MK1 

interface to be 

connected to the 

DMX network on 

which the DEC3.2 

is located, and the 

use of JESE GetSet 

software.
