dmXLAN node1s User Manual
The dmXLAN node1s is a single port desk or surface mounted Ethernet to DMX / DMX
to Ethernet node.
This easy to use device will either convert one DMX universe from a lighting desk for
use with an Ethernet network, or provide one DMX universe from an Ethernet
network. The dmXLAN node1s is fully compatible and programmable using the free
ELC dmXLAN software available for download at www.elclighting.com.
The ELC dmXLAN node1s is available in the following variations:
DLN1SF female XLR (5-pin)
DLN1SM male XLR (5-pin)
•Remote programming and monitoring
•Supports sACN, ArtNet & Shownet
•Remote fixture parameter override
•DMX input normal or backup
•DMX output normal, HTP, priority merging, softpatch (channel by channel),
programmable merging with DMX channel control
•RDM Compatible
•Support for WYSIWYG, ESP, Capture

All DMX ports are bi-directional (can act as input or output) with RDM preparation
and internal 120 Ohm terminator resistors.
Mounting
The ELC dmXLAN node1s can be mounted to a wall or surface using the keyhole or
circular hole located on the back of the device.
This product may only be used for
controlling dimmers and moving lights.
Using the product outside of these specifications
will remove all responsibility from the supplier.
Connections

ELC dmXLAN node1s User Manual
The dmXLAN node1s is operated by configuring the device through the dmXLAN
control software. The software can be downloaded from the ELC website at
www.elclighting.com.
Further configuration of the dmXLAN node1s is all done using the single red switch
located on the front of the unit, between the two connections.
This switch can be used in 3 ways;
•Press and hold the switch at power on (when plugging in the PoE source):
this will force the device into boot mode / firmware upgrade mode
•Press the switch (briefly):
this will select the dmXLAN node1s in the active dmXLAN software
•Press and hold the switch for 10 seconds:
this will program the device according to the default settings;
omale XLR version: input universe 0.0
ofemale XLR version: output universe 0.0
Using the dmXLAN software, the DMX port can be programmed to act as input or
output or it can be disabled.
DMX port as output
When a port is set up as a DMX output it can operate in the following modes;
•Disabled the DMX output is disabled
•Outzero the DMX sends out a DMX test signal with all channels at 0%
•Single the output sends out the DMX values of the selected (primary)
Art-Net universe. The DMX output is enabled the first time it detects the DMX
universe on the network (or internal DMX inputs). If the universe on the
network fails, the DMX output will go into DMX hold.
•Dual HTP like single, but merges two DMX universes (primary and
secondary) in highest takes precedence.
•Dual LTP like dual HTP but in latest takes precedence (on a channel by
channel basis).

DMX port as input
When a port is set up as a DMX input it can operate in the following modes;
•Disabled the DMX input does nothing
•Normal any valid DMX is sent onto the network (and internal use)
using the selected universe (Art-Net)
Backup the DMX input will not send data if the selected universe is present
on the network. If the selected universe is not present on the network for several
seconds and the input has valid DMX, then it will send DMX data.
If another sender starts sending the same universe, the input will go back into backup
mode.
