FEATURES
Thank you for purchasing the Martin Ether2DMX Router. This device
provides bidirectional conversion of 4 universes of DMX data to and from
ArtNet Ethernet.
The Ether2DMX Router allows you to
• route DMX data via ArtNet Ethernet,
• add DMX outputs to the Maxxyz controller,
• build a DMX to Ethernet to DMX bridge,
• channel DMX input to the Martin ShowDesigner,
• patch DMX input to multiple DMX outputs.
SAFETY INFORMATION
The Ether2DMX Router is not for household use. For safe operation, read
this manual before use and follow the safety precautions listed below. If
you have questions about how to operate the device safely, please contact
your Martin distributor or dealer.
• Disconnect the device from AC power before removing fuses or any part,
and when not in use.
• Always ground (earth) the device electrically.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection.
• Do not expose the device to rain or moisture.
• Never attempt to bypass fuses. Always replace defective fuses with ones
of the specified type and rating.
• Refer all service to a qualified technician.
• Do not modify the device or install other than genuine Martin parts.

VOLTAGE SELECTION
Before using the Ether2DMX Router for the first time, set the voltage
selection switch on the rear panel to the setting closest to the local mains
AC voltage. The switch allows you to select between 115 and 230 volts.
PLUG INSTALLATION
The fixture’s mains lead requires a grounding-type cord cap that fits your
power distribution cable or outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if you
have any doubts about proper installation.
Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must
be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall have
overload and ground-fault protection.
Following the cord cap manufacturer’s instructions, connect the yellow
and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire
to neutral. The table below shows some pin identification schemes.

CONNECTIONS

ETHERNET CONNECTION
DIRECT CONNECTION TO CONTROLLER
To connect a single Ether2DMX Router to a controller, use a category 5
(CAT5) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) crossover cable between the RJ-45
jack labelled “10BaseT” on the rear panel of the Ether2DMX Router and
the Artnet Ethernet jack on the controller. On the Maxxyz, this jack is
labelled “EtherDMX”. Note: the maximum Ethernet cable run is 100
meters.
CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE ROUTERS
A suitable network is required to connect multiple Ether2DMX Routers to a
controller. Though network configuration is beyond the scope of this
manual, at minimum the network will consist of a multiport hub and CAT5
UTP network cables.
You can use as many Ether2DMX Routers as required to provide the
maximum number of DMX universes supported by the controller.
DMX CONNECTIONS
The Ether2DMX Router provides 4 DMX-512 outputs on 5-pin female XLR
connectors and 4 DMX-512 inputs on 5-pin male XLR connectors. There
is no contact on pins 4 and 5. The DMX ports are completely isolated to
protect the device and other ports from faults on the DMX line.
Terminate the DMX data links properly to avoid signal transmission
problems.
OTHER DATA CONNECTIONS
Please refer to “Advanced functions” on page 17.

The Ether2DMX Router’s DMX ports, IP address, and subnet mask must
be configured for your application. Section 5 describes some sample
applications and their setup requirements. Section 6 describes additional
setup options for advanced applications.

when connected directly to a Maxxyz controller. These settings are shown
below.

To restore factory settings
Important! This procedure deletes all user settings.
1 Press MENU to enter setup mode.
2 Navigate to menu 17, “Clear All”, with the arrow keys or scroll wheel.
Press ENTER.
3 Press both arrow keys at the same time to restore the factory default
settings, or press MENU to escape.
4 Press MENU to exit setup mode.
DMX PORT CONFIGURATION
The DMX ports can be enabled or disabled. When disabled, there is no
DMX signal. Enabled ports must be assigned to a DMX universe. While
each input must be patched to a unique universe, two or more outputs can
be patched to the same universe.
ABOUT PORT NUMBERING
Ports are labelled 1, 2, 3, 4 on the back panel and A, B, C, D on screen.
“IN 1” corresponds to “Input A” and so on.
ABOUT UNIVERSE NUMBERING
In normal operating mode, the Ether2DMX Router displays universe
numbers in 0-based hexadecimal. The universe numbers run from 00 to
FF. On controllers, though, universe numbers are typically displayed in 1-
based decimal format, and run from 1 to up to 256.
The default universe numbering setting displays universe numbers in 1-
based decimal in setup mode to make patching more intuitive.
There is a 0-based hex to 1-based decimal conversion table for your
convenience on page 20.
Setup 9
To configure a DMX port
1 Press MENU to enter setup mode.
2 Navigate to the menu for the desired DMX input or output port, for
example menu 4, “Set Output A Routing”, with the scroll wheel or arrow
keys. Press ENTER.
3 To activate the output, select “enable”, otherwise, select “disable”. Press
ENTER.
4 Scroll to the desired universe number. Note that the number is displayed
in 0-based hexadecimal.
5 Press ENTER to save the setting and return to the setup menu.
IP ADDRESS
When used with the Maxxyz, the Ether2DMX Router must be given a
unique IP address - 2.0.0.5. Ensure that your Maxxyz controller is running
software version 1.04, or later.
For use with other Ethernet DMX controllers, consult the controller’s user
manual.
To set the IP address
1 Press MENU to enter setup mode.
2 Navigate to menu 1, “Set IP Address”. Press ENTER.
3 Press the arrow keys as required to move the cursor to the first (left-most)
IP address field. Scroll to the desired value. (2 for Maxxyz)
4 Move the cursor to the second field. Scroll to the desired value. (0 for
Maxxyz)
5 Move the cursor to the third field. Scroll to the desired value. (0 for
Maxxyz)
6 Move the cursor to the fourth field. Scroll to the desired value. (5 for the
Maxxyz)
7 Press ENTER to save the setting. Press MENU to exit setup mode.

console, use subnet mask 255.0.0.0.
To set the subnet mask

2 Navigate to menu 2, “Set Subnet Mask” using the scroll wheel or arrow
keys. Press ENTER.
3 Select the desired subnet mask. (255.0.0.0 for Maxxyz)

OPTIONAL SETTINGS
USER ID
You can define an ID number to keep track of multiple routers.
DISPLAY MODE
With “Display Auto” > “On”, the Ether2DMX Router displays three status
screens at fixed intervals. With “Display Auto” > “Off”, the display does not
scroll but you can change views manually with the scroll wheel or arrow
keys.
DEVICE NAME
You can edit the text displayed to the right of the software version number
in the port status display. The displayed text may be 15 characters long.
UNIVERSE NUMBERING
With “Display Universe Mode” > “Decimal”, universes are displayed in 1-
based decimal format when patching universes in setup mode.
“Hexadecimal” displays universe numbers in 0-based hexadecimal format.
Note that the status display always uses hexadecimal format.
