Ethernet Data Input Connections
1. RunCAT5eorbettercablefromthedataoutputportofaPhilipsColorKinetics
Ethernetcontroller(suchasLightSystemManagerorColorDialPro)toan
Ethernetswitch(oraPower-over-Ethernetswitch,ifrequiredbythecontroller).
2.Connectasecondcabletooneoftheswitch’sports.
3.LocatetheEthernetportinsidethePDS-150ehousing.Connectthecabletothis
port.
In an Ethernet Network, Connect to Downstream Devices using DMX
ThePDS-150eallowsyoutousetheEthernetinputportwhileoutputtingaDMX
signaltodownstreamdevices.
1. RunaCAT5eorbettercableoutoftherstdevice’sDMXOUTREPEATERport
tothenextdevice’sDMXINport.
2.Toaddanotherpower/datasupplytotheDMXchain,runacablefromthe
previousdevice’sDMXLOOPOUTporttothenextdevice’sDMXINport.
3.After32devicesinachain,insertaDMXterminatorintheDMXLOOPOUT
port,andinsertacablefromtheDMXOUTREPEATERporttotheDMXIN
portofthenextpower/datasupply.(ThiswillboosttheDMXsignalandmaintain
dataintegrity.)IfatotalDMXrunlengthexceeds1000ft(305m),werecommend
usingacommerciallyavailablethird-partyDMXrepeater.
4. Atthelastpower/datasupplyintheDMXchain,insertaDMXterminatorinthe

E Note that even if you are using an
Ethernet network, if you are outputting a
signal to downstream devices using DMX,
discovery of downstream xtures does not
happen automatically. You must discover your
xtures by entering xture serial numbers
in QuickPlay Pro as you normally would in a
DMX network.
