DMX protocols
This serial digital control protocol is used to communicate up to 512 dimmer channels in entertainment lighting.
DMX
The three essential components of a computer network.
applications, protocols, hardware
A network that connects computers within a single building or campus.
LAN
This is the top layer of the OSI model.
application layer
An IP address consists of this many bits.
32
The standard name for DMX, as specified by ANSI, is this.
ANSI E1.11-2008 Entertainment Technology USITT DMX512-A?
This term refers to the set of rules that define how networked devices communicate.
protocol
A network that connects multiple LANs across different geographic locations.
WAN
This layer ensures data is packaged correctly and can be understood by applications.
presentation layer
The first and last address in a subnet are used for these purposes
What are network identification and broadcast?
DMX sends signals at this frequency.
250 khz
Name one example of a file transfer application.
cuteftp or fireftp
The most common networking technology used in entertainment environments.
ethernet
The transport layer is responsible for this aspect of networking.
setting up, maintaining and tearing down connections

tcp/ip
This term describes a networking model consisting of seven layers
OSI models
This layer assigns logical addresses, such as IP addresses.
network layer
The function of a subnet mask.
determining the network and host portions of an IP address?
True or False? DMX data is bidirectional, meaning information flows both ways.
false
Name two types of hardware that enable communication between networked computers.
network interface cards and routers
True or False? Entertainment industry networks typically use WANs over LANs
false
