No connection from PC to controller

Hi, new here. Pretty ignorant but trying.
I just purchased a "CHINLY 3 Channel DMX 512 LED Decoder Controller 30A RGB DMX dimmer use for DC12-24V RGB LED strip"
It has 1 DMX in, 1 out, and 1 rj45 in and 1 out. I was hoping to run from USB to ethernet (have a plug and play dongle and a cat5 cable), just to control a few RGB LED strips I hooked up. However, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get it to work. I've been searching for hours and no luck anywhere, with any program. I know the thing works enough to have it's FUN settings working, but the connection to my computer just doesn't happen.
Anyone have ideas? Do I need to bite the bullet and buy a USB to DMX cable?
Any help would be appreciated!
