dataLynx II has an RJ45 (Ethercon) connection 

on the front panel. The product supports the 

latest Art-Net release (Art-Net 4) and sACN 

(the standard managed under ESTA E1.31).  

dataLynx II requires Cat 5 cable or better and 

supports 10BaseT and 100BaseT. 

Power Supply & Earthing

The internal power supply requires an input 

in  the  range  90-250  VAC  with  an  Earth 

connection. The mains fuse should only be 

replaced with a 3.15A slow blow fuse.
The  table  below  summarises  the  internal 

Earth interconnection and isolation.

(Please  note  that  we  use  the  term  Earth-

Ground to avoid international confusions. In 

Europe Earth-Ground is called Earth; in the 

USA Earth-Ground is called Ground).

Yellow = Ethernet link is 10BaseT

 -

Orange = Ethernet link is 100BaseT

 -

Green = SFP module

The front panel features 4 LED indicators: 1) 

Power; 2) Net+Link; 3) 10/100/1000BaseT; 4) 

Net Activity. These give different informational 

signals depending on whether the product is 

booting up or in operational mode:

The Power LED will flash continuously 

when  the  Identify  command  is  sent  by 

DMX-Workshop. This enables dataLynx 

II to be easily distinguished on a network 

containing multiple nodes.
This LED will also blip briefly in response 

to any programming command received 

via the network.
