Instructions
Once the controller has been connected to the network, you may either leave it DHCP, configure a DHCP reservation, or assign a static IP address. If you are integrating with Control4, the SDDP protocol is fully supported and the device will show up in the “Discovered” tab of Composer Pro. If you are using any other control system, it is recommended you either set a static IP or DHCP reservation in your router.
Operation
Factory Reset
To perform a factory reset, simply hold in the reset button, then apply power. This will reset the password to ‘password’ and revert the IP settings back to DHCP. It will also clear the Wi-Fi network association, which will put the Wi-Fi variant back into Wi-Fi setup mode (see above).
Password
The default password is “password”. It is highly recommended that you change the default password via the local UI to maintain the utmost security. This same password is used when integrating to the control system and should be updated in any drivers or modules you are using.

Overview
The Axion DMX Lighting Controller enables you to fully control a DMX512 system via IP without the complexity of traditional expensive counterparts. It also delivers a more reliable solution compared to standard consumer Wi-Fi enabled individual lighting options.
Since the controller supports SDDP, you can either integrate via DHCP or assign the unit a static IP address.
Features
- Compatible with all DMX512 lighting loads, including devices like lasers and smoke machines
- Individually addressable, reliable wired bus supports exact timing and dimming
- Auto Discovery via SDDP
- Supports connecting the driver to keypad buttons (with LED feedback), allowing for quick on/off/toggle programming
- Two-way feedback from the device.
- Trigger any of the pre-programmed color effects
Quick Start Guide
- Add the controller driver to project (or double-click on the device in the Discovered tab)
- If you didn’t use SDDP, enter the IP address under the Network section of the Connections tab.
- Add as many “Axion DMX RGBW Dimmer” drivers as you have independent lighting loads.
- EG: If you have a 3 channel DMX decoder controlling 3 individual white LED strips, you will add 3 dimmer drivers to control each independently.
- EG: If you have a 4 channel DMX decoder with 1 LED strip that has Red, Green, Blue and White, then you would just add 1 dimmer
- These drivers use the RGBW color system. Red, Green, Blue and White use 8 bits each, which have integer values from 0 to 255 where 0 indicates that color is turned off and 255 means the color is at full brightness.
- On the Dimmer driver, first enter the beginning DMX address of the device you are integrating.
- Then, select the type of device you are controlling from the drop down.
- Click on connections
- Verify the Axion DMX Control connection is bound to your Dimmer drivers
Connections
- Axion DMX Control
Used for communications between the dimmer driver and controller driver.
- ON Button Link
Bind this to a keypad to directly control the ON aspect of the light.
- OFF Button Link
Bind this to a keypad to directly control the OFF aspect of the light.
- Toggle Button Link
Bind this to a keypad to toggle the light ON and OFF from a physical button.
Commands
- Save Preset
Save the current channel level and ramp rate to a save slot 1-4.
- Recall Preset
Recall channel level and ramp rate from a save slot 1-4.
- Set Theme
Sets a color theme.
- Set Effect
Starts an effect with a given interval (how long for each color) for a given amount of time. NOTE! The default duration of 0 will run forever and only stop when you issue a Stop Effect command. Only one effect can be active at a time.
- Stop Effect
Stops the current effect.

Overview
The Axion DMX Lighting Controller enables you to fully control a DMX512 system via IP without the complexity of traditional expensive counterparts. It also delivers a more reliable solution compared to standard consumer Wi-Fi enabled individual lighting options.
It is highly recommended you configure the DMX Controller with a static IP address, or DHCP reservation.
Features
- Compatible with all DMX512 lighting loads, including devices like lasers and smoke machines
- Individually addressable, reliable wired bus supports exact timing and dimming
- Two-way feedback from the device.
- Trigger any of the pre-programmed color effects
Quick Start Guide
- Add the controller driver in Configurator under the lighting category as a lighting interface.
- On the controller driver, first enter the system password if it differs from the factory default.
- Enter a value for the ramp rate for controlling the lighting devices.
- Finally, enter the IP Address and apply all settings.
- Next add light objects and follow the guidelines below to configure each light load
Lighting Objects
- Dimmer
Dimmer that adjusts the the level for a white channel. Enter the channel number for each light
object.
- Dimmer RGB
Dimmer that adjusts the level for a red, green, and blue channels. Enter the channel numbers
for each light object.
- Dimmer Spectrum
Dimmer that adjusts the level for a red, green, blue, and white channels. Enter the channel
numbers for each light object.
- Scene
Scene Object that activates and deactivates effects on a given sets of channels. Enter the
channel numbers as a comma delimited list and effect name exactly as shown for each light
objects. See supported effects for a full list.
