Using thinnet with older consoles
Older model Express consoles supported thinnet as well as twisted pair
wiring for networking. The thinnet option is no longer available for Express
consoles or Express Lighting Playback Controllers. If you are using one of
those older models and wiring with thinnet, however, follow the
instructions below.
Network wiring
Your console may be connected to the network using either thinnet (BNC)
or twisted pair (RJ45) wiring. If operating with an ETCNet2 device, you
must connect to it using twisted pair wiring. That means that if you are
running a network cable from the console directly to the ETCNet2 device,
it must be a twisted pair cable connected to the console’s RJ45 port. If
you are connecting the console to a hub however, and the hub supports
thinnet, you may run thinnet cable between the console and the hub.
Cabling to any other device from the hub may be by whatever means the
hub and other devices support.
RIU jumpers
Install jumpers 1 through 6. Be certain jumpers 7 through 12 are not
installed.
RVI DIP switch settings
Set all six switches of the DIP closest to the front of the RVI to the On
position (down). Set all six switches of the DIP closest to the back of the
RVI to the Off position (up).
