Port direction
Here you can assign the port direction for each DMX port.
RDM OFF/ON
Here you can turn on/off RDM for the selected DMX port.
What is RDM?
Remote Device Management or RDM is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows bi-
directional communication between a lighting or system controller and attached RDM compliant
devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, status monitoring, and
management of these devices in such a way that does not disturb the normal operation of standard
DMX512 devices that do not recognize the RDM protocol.
(
NOTE: You cannot use RDM when you are using the sACN protocol because the sACN protocol
(E1.31) doesn't currently support RDM officially. Once ratified, this will be a simple software update
for the IQ nodes.
Port priority
Here you can set the port priority (from 0-200).
When signal is lost on the highest priority port, the DMX signal will be taken from the port that has the next
highest priority.
