Remote Interface devices
Until the appearance of ETC’s ETCNet2 devices, the only way you couId
perform remote network operations was with ETC’s Remote Interface
Unit (RIU) and the Remote Video Interface (RVI). ETC continues to support
the RIU and RVI devices but no longer sells them.
This section covers the installation of the RIU and RVI devices with your
system. For information about installing ETCNet2 devices, including the
ETCNet2 DMX Node and ETCNet2 Video Node, consult the separate
Installation Guides for those products.
Install a Remote Interface Unit or Remote Video Interface as follows:
1. Plug the network connector into the appropriate back panel
connector. Connections are available for ThinNet or Twisted Pair
operation.
2. Plug the power cable into a grounded power outlet.
3. Set DIP switches and/or installing jumpers, as appropriate.
4. Install Remote Unit software (see Upgrading remote interface
devices, page 346) for a discussion and procedure.
Installing jumpers
A jumper is a small plastic connector used to join a pair of pins sticking out
of a printed circuit board. The jumper is installed when it covers both pins.
It is not installed when it covers one or none of the pins (see illustration
below).

Remote Interface Unit (RIU)
The illustration below shows the RIU’s back panel and indicates the
connector used by each accessory. The front panel includes a connector
for a digitizer and an alphanumeric keyboard.
The RIU back panel contains connectors for up to two monitors, three
DMX512 outputs and an RFU.
