Daisy-Chain Support

The device features 2 separate Ethernet network ports. Either one is fully functionally for IN and OUT and can be used for the data connection without using a separate network switch or router.

Please note:

It is recommended to connect a maximum of 8 units after one another in a row.

It is important to set up the correct network universe where each device should send data to.

If all devices should send to the same universe, it is important to set up the correct DMX channels for each port and device.

ORION always sends data on the configured universe and channels unless the ports are deactivated.
Make sure that several devices do not send data on the same DMX channels!

Make sure to receive data in unicast mode in your receiver.
