Starting up Point-to-point connection Connect a device configured as transmitter to the DMX output of your DMX controller and a device configured as receiver to the DMX input of the first DMX device in the DMX chain that is to be controlled. In this point-to-point configuration the DMX signal from one transmitter is sent to one receiver.
Page 14
Starting up Point-to-multipoint connection Connect a device configured as transmitter to the DMX output of your DMX controller and a device configured as receiver to the DMX input of the first respective DMX device in the DMX chains that are to be controlled. In this point-to-multipoint configuration the DMX signal from one transmitter is sent to several receivers.

Connections and operating elements 3 [DMX] | Control LED for the operating status. Meaning if the device is operating as the transmitter: Constant light: Transmission path active, DMX signals are being sent. Flashes every 1.5 s: Transmission path not active. Flashes every 1.0 s: Transmission path active, no DMX signal present.
Operation Operation Switching operating mode of transmitter / receiver Press and hold [FUNCTION] while switching the device on, then hold for another three seconds. If, after you release [FUNCTION], the [Mode] and [DMX] LEDs do not light up, or if the [DMX] constantly flashes quickly, the device is configured as a receiver.
