USB DMX MODES
In USB DMX mode the eDMX2 PRO operates either standard or enhanced functionality depending on your software. Note
compatible software is required for enhanced mode.
eDMX2 PRO operating modes:
1x OUT
(standard)
Compatibility mode. Universe 1
configured on Port A or Port B.
Device behaves just like ENTTEC USB Pro so works with large existing
software base. Provides 1 isolated DMX output.
2x OUT splitter
(standard)
Compatibility mode. Universe 1
configured on Port A & Port B.
Device behaves just like ENTTEC USB Pro so works with large existing
software base. Provides 2 isolated DMX outputs of the same
universe.
1x IN
(standard)
Compatibility mode. Universe 2
configured on Port B as DMX IN.
Device behaves just like ENTTEC USB Pro so works with large existing
software base. Provides 1 isolated DMX input.
2x OUT, 2 universes
(enhanced)
Enhanced mode. Universe 1
and 2 configured on Port A &
Port B respectively.
Equivalent to having 2x USB DMX units rolled into 1 enclosure and
USB connection. Requires compatible software.
1x OUT, 1x IN
(enhanced)
Enhanced mode. Universe 1
configured on Port A DMX OUT
and Universe 2 on Port B DMX
IN.
Equivalent to having 2x USB DMX units rolled into 1 enclosure and
USB connection with both DMX OUT and DMX IN unit. Requires
compatible software.
Switching between Standard and Enhanced modes is fully automatic and determined by your lighting control software. If
enhanced mode DMX output commands are sent to the ultraDMX2 PRO it enters enhanced mode and conversely when
standard DMX output commands are sent standard mode is triggered.
Note if Port A and Port B are not configured to the appropriate Universes the USB DMX functionality will not work. Only
Universe 1 and Universe 2 are used for USB DMX. Use the auto-configuration in ultraDMX Configuration Utility v1.9+ for simple
setup of USB DMX configurations (firmware 3.1 and above).

CONFIGURATION UTILITY
Because this unit is both USB DMX and Ethernet DMX there are 2 configuration utilities that can be used. The majority of
features are setup using eDMX Configuration which requires a network connection to the eDMX2 PRO device. Basic setup
relevant to USB DMX operation is available using the ultraDMX Configuration Utility v1.9 and above with firmware 3.1 and
above.
The eDMX Configuration utility provides a simple interface to all device parameters. Typically these are set once during initial
configuration and left untouched. If you are not confident in setting up network IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
parameters please get in touch with DMXking.com support and we’ll walk you through the process. By default DHC
P is disabled.
Special note: Once you’ve finished configuring your eDMX2 PRO close the application before starting your lighting control
application if it’s run from the same computer.
