I figured out the issue. Firmware did not take on engine's...

Ok So I have everything hooked up on my bench. I don't have control of my LEDs though. I show firmware version 5.071 in Composer. My DMX to RJ45 cable looks correct. Pin 1 goes to Brown/ Brown White on my cat 5 cable. Pin2 goes to Orange on my cat5. Pin3 goes to Orange White on my Cat 5. My cat5 is wired with standard B method. ORW/O/GW/B/BW/G/BW/B

My LEDs are always RED.... They have only Pin1 on their jumper and the DMX RGB Dimmer Driver is set to 1,2,3. Where do I go from here? Anyone to call?

Will the new Ethernet DMX Engine work with Control4?  Any plans / time table for the driver?

I have driver 2.11 installed with an EA1. Under Status I get Incompatible Firmware v4.085, 3/12/2014. Do I have to purchase the updated firmware?

2nd question. Will the new Ethernet DMX Engine work with Control4?

3.5mm to DB9 go straight into the RS232 port on the DMX Engine with no modification, and XLR5 as the output go into your DMX decoder, usually using convertion to RJ45 using special cable. 

Then out of the DMX decoder goes your LEDs.

 

Yea I am aware I was looking for a diagram that showed what pins go to what. Also I saw the images with all the decoder's in one location. If you install the setup that way do you just use like 22/4 wire to run from decoder out to the LEDs?

Looking to use an E1 with the Response box. Have any diagrams that show the RS232 to 3.5mm cable and one that shows the XLR5 dMX to ethernet?
