RDM Device List
Before you can start using the RDM Device List, you must first enable {RDM} for the appropriate
DMXports in Setup > System > Output, or for the appropriate ethernet ports in the Network
ECU tab. By default RDM is disabled. See Outputs (on page138) or Interface Protocols (on
page416) If using Network RDM, this must be done via an ETC Net3 Gateway and RDM must
also be enabled on the DMX ports of the Gateway. The Gateway needs to be running version
5.1 or newer.
Open the RDM Device List while in the patch display by pressing {Device List}> {RDM}.
You will need to make sure that {Device Discovery} is enabled.
{Device Discovery} is disabled by default. The {Device Discovery} option will not display if {RDM}
is disabled in the ECU.
Note: {Device Discovery} will automatically disable when you leave the patch display.
When the RDM device list is opened, the devices will be displayed in Patch by Address mode. At
the top of the list is a RDM indicator. This indicator shows incoming and outgoing RDM traffic.
