Gateway causing flicker on LED

Have a Gio with Ion as backup on a Network with a Net3 gateway to output two universes of DMX.

We have bought some inexpensive LED battens for an upcoming show, and when connected via the gateway there is a noticeable drop out of level on the LEDs every few seconds. I connected directly to the Gio's DMX output and no such problem. I then connected directly to the Gateway (in case it was a building/cable issue) and the flickering out happened again.

Any suggestions on what the issue could be?

Thanks

You should check if your gateway has RDM enabled.
Maybe your equipment does not comply to the DMX512A standard, and will therefore flicker when it receives RDM messages.
I bet the flickering is gone as soon as you turn RDM off.

Also check your DMX speed as this could be the problem if set to high. This is a fault in the fixtures but the consoles DMX.
