There should be a 5-3 pin converter which plugs into the Enttecs 5 pin socket.

You should have two cables with 3 pin XLR plugs on the end and plugs on the other end that match the ribbon cables coming out of the skull.... are tehse the black ribbon cables you are referring to?

Bri, do both sets of cables comming from the skull need to be plugged into the entcc box or just 1, so basically, 1 ribbon cable plugged into the box, another ribbon cable plugged into the light..is that right

DMX is a chain with each item on  the chain having an address

At one end of the chain you have the Enttec box, at the other end you have a termination resistor.

In the middle of the chain you can have any number of devices, each device has an input socket and an output socket if you look closely at the lights, Skull, Enttec box and termination resistor and DMX cables you will see that its possible to connect these devices into a long chain. the order you connect the devices is unimportant.

Each device has an address, you can see the address switches on the back of the lights, and the Skull has an address which you cant see because its programmed into the BoCs software... and you can only change using the BoC configuration software.

t typical chain would be

Enntec-----LED LIGHT 1------Skull-----LED LIGHT 2------Termination resistor

yes leaving the lights unplugged will work just fine, just plug one cable from teh skull into the Enttec box and the termination resistor in the other
