KLSTR.one Integration Guide
Overview
The KLSTR.one is a standalone Ethernet-to-DMX gateway with full Art-Net, sACN, and RDM support. This document covers the integration of KLSTR.one into lighting fixtures and systems.
Physical Interfaces
The KLSTR.one provides the following interfaces:
| Interface | Connector | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ethernet | RJ45 | 10/100 Mbps, supports PoE (802.3af) |
| DMX OUT | XLR 5-pin | DMX512-A output with RDM support |
| DMX IN | XLR 5-pin | DMX512-A input for daisy-chain |
| Power | Barrel jack | 12–48 V DC, 5 W typical |
| USB-C | USB Type-C | Configuration and firmware updates |
Network Integration
Art-Net Configuration
The KLSTR.one supports Art-Net 4 with the following capabilities:
- Up to 4 Art-Net universes per device
- Art-Net polling and reply for automatic discovery
- RDM over Art-Net (Art-RDM) for remote fixture management
- Configurable Art-Net subnet and universe mapping
sACN Configuration
sACN (E1.31) is supported with:
- Priority-based merging (HTP and LTP modes)
- Multicast and unicast operation
- Universe synchronization
- Per-universe priority assignment
Dual-Mode Operation
When used together with KLSTR.nano modules inside a fixture, the KLSTR.one operates in dual mode:
- The KLSTR.one handles Ethernet-side protocol conversion (Art-Net/sACN).
- The KLSTR.nano handles DMX-side communication with the fixture's internal controller.
- Communication between the two modules uses the DMX_LAN interface.
Dual-Mode Wiring
Connect the KLSTR.one to the KLSTR.nano using the following pin mapping:
| KLSTR.one Pin | Signal | KLSTR.nano Pin |
|---|---|---|
| DMX LAN A+ | RS485 A+ | Pin 23 (DMX_LAN_A) |
| DMX LAN B− | RS485 B− | Pin 22 (DMX_LAN_B) |
| GND | Ground | Pin 21 (GND) |
| Heartbeat OUT | Status | Pin 35 (PC2) |
Mechanical Integration
The KLSTR.one is designed for both internal and external mounting:
- Internal mount: M3 mounting holes on 4 corners, 60 × 45 mm footprint
- External mount: DIN rail clip (optional accessory) or panel-mount bracket
- Operating temperature: −10 °C to 50 °C
- Protection rating: IP20 (indoor use)
