Use the network router.

Look into the network settings of the console to make sure they play well together. Do not have DHCP enabled on both router and console. If you are not familiar with IP networks then get some help.

DMX and Ethernet are very different and plugging one into the other can damage expensive things.

There is more in the manuals for both the console and the PC software.

thanks. I have much knowledge about networking and should be able to set this up quite easily.

Good luck,

When you have some time you might look into that ethernet jack backstage. With any luck it's just another network port. If it's something else then you may have a accident waiting to happen. There is also an old system called ETCnet that will not interact with a modern network. ETCNet2. & ETCNet3 are good to use.

There is a WIKI article on ETC standard IP addresses (all in the 10.101 range) which they do for good reasons. If you have other ETC equipment networked then it can be helpful.
