Help needed on connecting ION / CEM+ / D20´s

Greetings,

First of all, I would like to start by saying I work for a Systems Integrator and that (for several reasons) an ION console we purchase some time ago it's being installed this week. We purchase not only the console but the CEM+ module and D20´s dimmers also.

Now that we are trying to check if we connected everything properly, we haven´t found a way to make sure the ION console is actually connected and communicating with the dimmer modules.

Attached you will find a quite simple diagram of what we have installed.

If anybody could please give some pointers or tips would be great.

Thanks in advance

    Hey,

       I have attached the ION network setup guide that you should use to properly configure your network.  It lists recommended IP, gateway, and subnet settings.

    You should make sure that "EDMX" is turned on in the ION shell.  That enables the NET2 protocol that the CEM+ module uses.

    You could use just a dmx line off the console, or use ethernet as your diagram shows.    Make sure that the network switch that you installed in "unmanaged".

    CEM+ supports Net3 (sACN). Net2 (edmx) is not recommended for new installs.

    I would suggest that first of all you take a look at the sensor+ manuals at etcconnect.com to confirm your system is correctly commissioned.
    The CEM+ front panel will warn you if it has no data source.

    I haven't seen any error message regarding data source, neither in the manual.

    How would it look like?
