Ok, a question, I hope one the everyone's got.. My first Lynx is finished(yeaaayyy!) I'm trying to wire my plug for the Pro dongle.. I took a Cat5 cable, plugged on end into the board, cut off the other end to wire into the dongle.. I found pin 2, 3 on the dongle's XLR plug, but which are pins 1, 2 on the Cat5 end? Is it the first pins on the Ethernet plug, or does Cat start in the center and work out? I cant remember.. I'm stuck at this point.. Does the Cat5 cable go to the DMX IN or DMX OUT? The Pro manual say the OUT connects to lightin fixtures, dimmmers.. IN connects to a DMX512 Lighting Controller.
Also.. in drilling the holes for the strain reliefs, the manual say 3/8" and 3/4" holes, but they are 3/4" and 1" holes (ID) for the reliefs to screw into.. just thot i had to mention that.. I couldnt find my 3/4 bit so I had to use a 5/8 and round/file it to 3/4"
teege
Updated 4/23: Got an answer from jwells(thanks Jim) on the Cat5(RJ45) end.. Pins 1, 2 is the Orange/White-Orange pair.. White-Orange is pin 1, solid Orange is pin 2. Now I just have to get if it goes to DMX IN or OUT.
