First Gen Ion Console

Question

I had a quick question. Are the Mark 2 Response DMX Gateways compatible with the original Ion's running WinXP embedded? I'd have to use the onboard GCE to program it as we're a mac campus and I dont have a PC to run the software. Assuming it would work, but wanted to make sure before we invest in one.

You can absolutely use the Mk2 DMX gateways with an Ion classic running 2.x software. The console outputs sACN, the gateway reads sACN, no reason for any application at all. 
 To configure remotely you would need the ETC Concert software. GCE doesn't recognize the Mk2 gateways as GCE was discontinued years before those gateways were released. 
 Good news: Concert is available for Mac here . 
 And: You can configure the Mk2 gateways locally through their display and the buttons.
