Electrical Specifications
The gateways are powered by either auxiliary power or Power over Ethernet (PoE).
•
Auxiliary power input rated voltage of 12-24 VDC, 4 W Max, Polarity Independent
•
10/100Base-T, PoE power Class 1 (IEEE 802.3af)
For auxiliary power, the wall-mount gateway uses a two-position screw clamp terminal block. The
portable gateway uses a screw locking DC barrel connector for use with an external power supply
(available separately).
If you supply both PoE and auxiliary power, the gateway defaults to using auxiliary. If auxiliary
power is lost, the gateway will reboot and then begin using PoE.
Note:
If you are using an external power supply, it must be rated at a maximum of
15 watts.
Connection Options
There are three different connector types available depending on your gateway:
•
DMX Out (five-pin female XLR)
•
DMX In (five-pin male XLR)
•
DMX RJ45 (input or output)
The Response Mk2 Gateways send and receive DMX-512 control signals. DMX cables must be
acceptable for DMX data transmission and connections should follow the standard pinouts per the
charts below. The optional secondary data pair is not used by the Response Mk2 Gateways.
The DMX RJ45 variant can use a standard RJ45 Cat5e cable or better to transmit DMX-512 to other
devices with the same connector.
Note:
The DMX RJ45 connector does not function as an Ethernet network port.
